I know there are lots of variables to this question but just wondering if you're motivated and ambitious, where should you be in your career if you are in IT/Teleco Sector
Thanks

Con tax?
Get one of those fancy whackjob IT titles that every startup and recently rebranded IT company use to make themselves look cool. You know the whole IT Solutions Architect and Customer Success Officer with minimum wage. Perhaps IT Customer Success Solutions Architect Manager?
CEO - $5.68m
Should’ve got a business degree.
where should you be in your career if you are in IT/Teleco Sector
retired.
Is "Teleco" IT l1 helpdesk? Maybe $60k a year. CTO? Maybe $3mil.
CTO? Maybe $3mil.
I need to ask for a significant pay rise. Or move jobs 😜
CTO? Maybe $3mil.
Looks like a total, and wildly inaccurate, guess.

How much value are you adding personally in $?
motivated and ambitious,
While good traits, career progression also needs things like competency, high quality result delivery, continued skill or education growth ,corporate ladder navigation (or butt kissing).
If you've been in a career 15 years, if you were good at your profession and actually tried to move up the ranks, you should already have a very good idea what kind of career progression happens
Tier 3 senior copper wirist. $105k + super.
This is impossible to answer.
Could be raking it in as a CTO, could be burnt out and just working casual jobs as you change careers, could have just been unlucky in life and working close to entry level jobs as you need to make ends meet.
If you're seriously considering questions like this it may be worth seeking a mentor, psychologist, life coach type person to better understand what's going on for you and where you want to be.
if u hit the diveristy counter, CTO
if not IT supportand remmeber, please reset ur comp 4 times, that should resolve the issue
LOL
Are you one in a million leadership material, a tech genius, OR just a pleb?
I've had people with 15 years of experience in engineering who are less knowledgeable than graduates with 5 yet they expect to be paid ridiculous wages for the privelege.
Honestly how long is a piece of string.
How does someone be a graduate with 5 years of experience?
You get held back back upper management who are scared you'll replace them ;)
Receptionist if you have been in IT for that long and have ask.
Fired
As others have said, your question has absolutely zero context and therefore cannot be answered.
You could have been sitting in the same job for 15 years going absolutely nowhere, or you could have studied, taken on extra responsibilities and thus moved up, or you could have moved around in different roles trying different things.Unless you've been pro-active in your career, where you are 15 years later is exactly where you started on day 0.
In government you're probably over 100k, if you've been in private sector you're probably now a landscape gardener.
if you're motivated and ambitious
How motivated and how ambitious? Are you waking up at 4am to go to the gym at 4.30am then rocking up to the office at 7am to start your work/project. Lunch is 30mins and you are listening to a self motivation podcast while eating. You finish work at 7pm, have a quick dinner and shower and spend time on Udemy learning a new skill or reading a book on leadership till 10pm then meditate before you fall asleep? You spend Saturdays working on side projects/apps and only leave Sunday for some family time.
Seriously how motivated?
Yeah something like that 😂
Lol good on ya
That's a very Indian system where your salary is determined not by your skills but how long you were in industry. Does not really work like that anywhere else.
It works that way for the first 8 years in the teaching profession.
It might even work among dog walkers, but how is that relevant to the question?
Which question?
I was correcting your statement that salary determination based on years in an industry does not really work anywhere else (besides India).
In Australia… it does work that way for the first 8 years of teaching and according to you perhaps dog walkers.
@Eeples: Original question. In case you can't read or have comprehension issues - it says "in IT/Teleco".
@[Deactivated]: Like I said I was correcting your weak statement about pay being pegged to years worked in an industry rather than skills and ability; in particular your assertion that it does not happen like that anywhere else (besides India?).
We have both provided counter examples. Teaching pay scales by me; and dog walkers by you (although I am not sure you have confirmed your dog walkers).
Clearly I can read. What a silly thing to say. You must be trolling. Ummm, very clever of you ?
Clearly I can read.
comprehension issues then?
You know what is responding in a context of original question is? That's what I did. And that's what you did not.
@[Deactivated]: Yes, best not address the substance of my correcting you.
Good idea.
However you could, of course, have just thanked me for the education I gave you regarding teachers also obtaining pay raises for the first 8 years regardless of their ability or skills obtained. But that’s okay; you’re welcome!
I suppose though the phenomenon is a consequence of Britain’s foundation of structure concerning both India and Australia civil services; in which seniority and pay was duration of service based.
@Eeples: If you, presumably a teacher, unable to understand context of conversation I have no questions left about quality of Australian education system.
p.s. I'm sure your professional deformation demands you to be always right, even when you're not, so I'll allow you have a last word in this meaningless argument.
You dont know your title?
Yes
…
A little more contex, perhaps?
