I'd like to add that tech salaries are somewhat unique compared to other industries because, given the nature of software development, the marginal contribution of a single developer can be substantially greater than an additional expert in most other industries. Software development in general lends to resource accumulation because useful code is written once and then potentially sold/downloaded indefinitely.
- rahimnathwani 7y agoSure, but this line of thinking applies to many non-tech jobs. For example: - developing a training curriculum or materials - designing operational processes - developing a brand identity The difference with software is that the software kind of runs itself, without much need for humans. The examples I gave above are also 'create once and execute many times' things, but they require humans to do the execution.
