I am stuck at the 120k salary range since 2 years and not able to find a role which helps me grow into the next range. I am in a bank and working in the compliance domain. I am currently doing the following :
- coffee chats with different teams/seniors for networking
- preparing for a certification to upskill.

Any tips to level up? Thanks in advance.

The best way is to switch firms, you need to target Senior Manager at TD, BMO, Director at RBC/Sunlife/Manulife. Not sure what level at Scotia or CIBC you should be targeting.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
