Thanks for sharing. Great to hear you enjoyed the people, environment, and benefits in the Zurich office. We have shared your feedback on management and low salaries with leadership; as we evaluate compensation packages annually to benchmark with the industry, it's helpful to include your thoughts there. We also noted your perspective on limited career growth so we can find ways to better communicate those opportunities to everyone. Wishing you all the best.
