> Associate; a generic corporate title in banking
To be highly paid, get a job at a company run by (former) software engineers who see software as the profit engine of their company. Not a bank that sees software as an IT cost center.
In general, you make the most money at a company where the founder or senior management have the same background as you and are biased to think your job role is the most important one in the company.
Facebook programmer, hospital doctor, Oracle lawyer, etc

- ctime 9y agoThis is actually really good advice.
- jimmydddd 9y agoGreat advice. My father always says that you should go to a company where you work in a profit center, not a cost center. A lawyer at a law firm, instead of the legal dept. at a corp.; a coder at a software company, instead of part of the IT dept.; a marketer at a marketing company, instead of part of the marketing dept. at a corp., etc.
- julnepht 9y agoWish I could upvote this comment more than once, this was the key takeaway after working in a business where software was a cost center 10+ years ago. I have always made this a rule for all my following jobs.
