There are careers that were extraordinary even for a rising company like Wirecard. In just twelve years, Carlos Häuser made it from an intern in software development almost up to the board of directors of the former DAX company. With hefty salary increases every few years, also personally signed by CEO Markus Braun. In the end, Häusler earned a basic salary of 240,000 euros per year plus a bonus – before he left the payment service provider almost overnight at the end of 2017.
