Comprehensive comparison of Bangladesh development team capabilities against international standards in Europe, Germany, and India
Your Senior Analysts have significantly broader project management responsibilities compared to international Tech Leads, who focus more on deep technical architecture.
30% of time spent on project management vs 10% in EU companies. This shows your seniors operate as "Technical Project Managers" with end-to-end delivery ownership.
While EU salaries are higher, your role provides broader experience that accelerates career growth into management positions.
Your seniors have higher autonomy in project decisions but lower authority in architectural decisions compared to EU counterparts.

Your specialists have good analysis skills but need more involvement in system design discussions and architectural decisions.
EU developers ramp up faster in testing and DevOps, while Indian developers excel faster in system design and architecture.
Code coverage and test automation are areas where international standards are significantly higher.
