I’m curious if anyone here started with a pretty standard EFZ apprenticeship and later managed to work their way into a much higher-level position with a relatively high salary just through work experience . I’m especially interested in people who did this without Weiterbildung, additional certifications, university or any other formal education after the EFZ . Basically: you finished your EFZ, started working, gained experience, took on more responsibility, changed roles or companies and eventually worked your way into a much better position. I have a feeling a lot of these career jumps probably happen either through Vitamin B / connections , or by getting into the right company, proving yourself internally and then slowly climbing higher and higher. But I’d be interested to hear how it actually happened for people who managed it. Basically looking for examples of people in Switzerland who started with a normal EFZ and managed to get quite far purely through experience and proving themselves on the job . submitted by /u/Objective-Custard-65
