"Should you work for a non-tech company?"
Yes!
You get to solve all types of interesting problems developing for non-tech companies. You are able to help with real business problems. Think shipping and warehouse companies or companies that deal with a lot of products/inventory. So many things to automate in a business like that. You can have the opportunity to work on inventory management software, bar coding software, order entry software, call center software, etc. I worked at a company like this early in my career and it was really rewarding. Company consisted of a few hundred employees with less than 10 in IT.
- sargun 10y agoI looked at this briefly, but it was odd. I found that non-tech companies paid tech FTEs very little -- even companies which heavily relied on tech (Airlines, Insurance, etc..). On the other hand, they paid oodles to contractors, and vendors.
