I too has been working for 11-12 years

salary growth

2019 - 62xx
2020 - 90xx (internal promotion)
2021 - 10xxx (job hop 1)
2022 - 11xxx (job hop 2, was asking just to match the previous pay due to not serving 1 full year in previous company, only to found out that the latest company actually can offer much more)

anyhow i can say i am no where a senior now, despite getting the manager lvl pay in other industries

i would say yes and no

not everyone in IT can get 20k or even 15k per se

need to delve down the source of revenue of the company, does it offering services in USD/Euro market vs in local market? What industry is the company in? is it O&G, financial services, regulatory, media, or ecommerce?

all these factors determine the upper range they can offer for each position accordingly

my personal experience:

company that pays 9k - assuming the role of team lead / AM, carrying the expectations of a manager KPI in front of boss
company that pays 11k - merely a middle lvl engineer, much lesser responsibilities on shoulder


its the cold harsh fact that many MNCs somewhat disrupt the local IT SMEs pay range, smaller local companies has no choice but to turn into more vendors for their IT outsourcing

ain’t that be a cap in everything?

if not one can easily hit /k/ standard salary while just being a senior exec

my case is 11k - middle level engineer, above me still got Sr engineer, then only team lead; above team lead is head of infra something already. So total only 5 ranks, from very bottom to very top.

btw the team lead has been on this role for more than 10 years

so i can deduce over here, they don't abuse the titles as much as other places, they don't simply give glamor titles,
