In 2018, a survey showed that in high-paying countries, project managers in customer projects are on average better paid than their colleagues in internal projects. In low-paying countries, project managers in internal projects were better paid.
This new study, 4 years and a global pandemic later, was performed to find out if this observation is still true.
