As a SWE, I don't think I get the comp i deserve. The amount of work is insane and requires high IQ. Writing code, doing engineering design, fixing bugs, on call, it just never ends Dumb people like PMs, PgMs, solution architects, sales, who don't write code and just schedule meetings make almost as much money. Seriously considering investing banking as a career choice. Anyone else in same boat?
Investment banking is one of the few jobs that pay the same or more than SWE that has an even worse workload my guy
I hope OP is open to an aderall addiction.
If you’re so smart leave peanutsoft. You can double your tc by going to any other software company No being a banking slave working 80hr a week
Yup lately feeling the same. ICs have so much involved work to do and managers just do not do much and earn same or more. Have you tried switching to management ?
People who say this don't have any idea how much work it is to be a manager. Before you bash me, I am not a manager. But I am not delusional either.
Lolz, every manager I've worked for has worked more than me as an IC. And as a manager I work more than my direct reports.
Dude that feeling is only prevalent at MAFT
for real. OP time to jump ship. It feels a less like this when you get paid more
Sales, architects, and PMs probably make more than you TBH
people have diff talents. just take a break and have fun.
OP go visit a therapist. You are on the path to self destruction.
Why
Nope I make nearly half a million a year to type words for less than 40 hours a week.
Type words? What do you do
