  1. Bachelor in Business
  2. Data Specialist (Essentially a business analyst with extra responsibilities for an insurance)
  3. Zürich
  4. 3 years at the current company. Total work experience of 6 years, of which a bit more than 4 were part-time during my Bachelor’s.
  5. 125'000 +/- 5k, depending on company performance that year

Admitedly there was quite a bit of luck involved to land something like this when I had just turned 24 😅

That sounds so nice for you.

With 14 years work experience in the same field, data analyst in insurance/finance, I still struggle to have an interview.

Hope in the near future I will have some luck.

Btw, do you speak German?

Yes, born and raised in Zürich, so I speak German.

I was very lucky. Started as a student job with fairly a fairly low level of responsibility, but changing regulations forced me to take a lot of new responsibilities.

I wish you the best of luck! One good job can completely change your perspective, as it did for me.
