What does this mean? "Decently" as in what? I left university last year with a master's in EE and I'm paid £26k/year before tax(!) to write C. Even for graduate jobs, that's not amazing.
- tomp 6y agoGo write C at a HFT hedge fund for 10x that salary.
- ronyfadel 6y ago"Decently paying job" as in higher than average wage (in the UK) at the least, and more often than not it's in top brackets. It doesn't mean that you can't get a bad deal, but that wouldn't be the norm. The average software engineer's salary [1] in the UK is much higher than the average electrical engineer's salary [2]. Since you're writing code anyways (within the realm of doing software engineering work), would it make sense to pivot over to a software engineering position?
