How to Know If You're Well Positioned
in the Job Market

Many professionals wonder whether they are truly well positioned in the market. Am I earning below market rate? Is my profile competitive? What are the next steps in my career?

Answering these questions requires a structured analysis, not just intuition.

Evaluating your professional profile

There are concrete indicators that help determine a professional's positioning in the market. An honest assessment of these factors is the starting point for any informed career decision.

Comparison with other professionals

A useful way to understand your positioning is to compare your profile with market benchmarks. This allows you to see whether your profile is above average, whether there are areas for improvement, and whether there are progression opportunities that have not yet been explored.

Clarity about next steps

Having a clear vision of possible career paths helps you make more informed decisions — whether a company change, a specialisation, or a transition to a new area. Without this clarity, it's difficult to act with purpose.

Start with your CV

The first step to understanding your professional positioning is to objectively analyse your curriculum. The CV is the mirror of your trajectory and reveals a great deal about how you are perceived in the market.
