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

Titles mean nothing.

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.

Can't really share this with anyone else, so thank you fellow fish for indulging. 3 years in, finally at a point where I can comfortably work 40 hours a week the last quarter+, and still be a trusted team member and major contributor. Normal tasks and collaborations now take me a fraction of the time compared to my first couple years / others on the team. 6 YOE and my TC has also gone up a lot from low 200s last year to high 200s this year. Hope to keep this optimal mix of WLB & progression 🙏
