The controller title can be soooo inflated compared to the pay. (Example: small private companies as someone already mentioned)

Gotta say you have a point 🎯

Quite big jump

I also think the same as you.. I’ve worked with so many incompetent controllers.. really don’t know how they got the job

Only at small private companies.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?
