As an undergrad student studying both Electrical Engineering and CS in Taiwan, this is what I heard from my seniors. For most of the tech job, you are held "responsible" for the progress, so overtime is very common.
- komali2 8y agoWe're held responsible for our work in San Francisco as well. My take is that the overwork aspect is raw culture - arbitrarily needing to stay as late as your boss while you fiddle with your phone, lacking any actual work to do. Underpay is because of market forces - the average salary is 30k because the average salary is 30k because the average salary is 30k. My advice to you is learn to pull solo contract work off US companies early.
