Below is a career chart for different professions. Own study based on own analyzes and experiences. The chart is not up to date, it gives a general idea of where we will earn the most.

Earnings do not include overtime, bonuses, etc.
Earnings depend to a large extent on the company’s capital (Polish or foreign).
Earnings in different companies may differ even by 50-100%.
In every “normal” company, wages grow with experience and responsibility.
The reality is different.
