Salary statistics
They win projects worth millions – but what do they earn themselves?
We often meet Danish proposal professionals who want to better understand their own value, but do not really know where to begin. That is why we have decided to create something as rare as a salary statistics report tailored specifically to the Danish proposal industry.
Why are we creating a salary statistics report for Danish proposal professionals?
Many industries have access to salary data and collective agreements. But for those of you working with proposals in Denmark, one essential thing is still missing: a benchmark.
At Orbit Online, we see that many Danish proposal professionals are navigating in the dark. We want to change that – and give you a tool to help you negotiate better, speak more openly, and build stronger conditions across the industry.
Why you should take part
Get a benchmark
Gain insight into what others with similar responsibilities and experience earn. It gives you a reference point to compare yourself to – and helps you stand stronger. When you know the market, you know your worth.
Strengthen your negotiations
Use the data as a foundation in salary discussions or when changing roles. You are no longer negotiating based on gut feeling, but on insight. That makes you more confident – and more effective.
Contribute to the community
Your anonymised input helps move the entire industry forward. The more transparency we create, the better conversations we can have. That is how we raise salaries, professionalism, and working conditions – together.
Highlight your professional value
When we talk openly about pay and conditions, the importance of your role becomes clear. It strengthens both the recognition of proposal work and your own professional standing.
Help us create transparency
The survey is completely anonymous and takes just 3 minutes to complete.
(Please note: this survey is intended for employees based in Denmark.)
We ask about:
– Industry and role
– Experience and level of responsibility
– Weekly working hours
– Salary and employment terms
Salary is still a taboo subject – but it does not have to be.
By taking the survey – and by discussing it with your colleagues – you are helping to create a fairer, more professional industry.
