Thanks, you're right. I know they don't give reasons, which is why I want to get it right the second time.
I'm just trying to figure out the best approach now. For instance, should I wait a few months, or is it worth trying a different embassy? It's confusing because my friend's application (same situation) went through so fast, and I'm wondering what the trick is.
I’m not entirely sure why I was rejected — I just assumed it was because they asked for details about my journey entering the market, my salary history, and the steps I took during negotiations to reach my current salary. I also uploaded everything they requested, including client invoices and payslips, but I was still rejected.
