I would really say that tech is the IB of today, of course top IB still pays much better but the work hours are also crazy.
Btw I am non-tech, so I would assume that a SWE would be paid closer to $18-20K on a similar trajectory. |
That's nothing I graduated from SIM in the same year and pulling 25k

American tech giants such as Amazon Web Services, Meta Platforms, Apple and Google are dangling some of the highest salaries - 39% to 56.5% more than the market median, according to tech talent platform NodeFlair

some of my friends join crypto for quick $$$
Staying in a 5k per month condo and 10k to a Vietnamese sugar bb
Meanwhile the rest of the batch mate with traditional banking jobs are still working our way up in the rat race
Just different life decisions

yup this is true ...
i got a friend in crypto company also , making 8k monthly with 1 yoe
i think its not bad but need to take note that when u job hop , company name matters abit . if they see ure always going to those unicorn or start-ups and u apply for FAANG or large tech , they might consider your "senior engineer" role to be "junior" equivalent in their company .
theres also other reasons like if ure software test engineer , u cant hop to software engineer easily . same for a 5 yoe backend to hop to senior role in front-end.

Quite a handful of my batch mates quit MA programs, banking (IB and non-IB), and some smaller tech to be real estate agents.
