Salary ranges

We already know that an Academic Manager can earn between 54,140 PLN and 161,300 PLN on average in Poland. This is known as the range in statistics.

What this means is that approximately 50% of the population earn less than 102,160 PLN, and 50% of the population earn more than 102,160 PLN.

If you are earning more than the median salary, that's a good indicator that you are being paid well.

If you're not earning more than the median salary, your objective should be to increase your earnings to be at least as high as the median salary (which you can do by asking for a pay rise, looking for a better paying job, etc).
