I have a friend who is a lawyer. 10+ Years experience in corporate litigation, works long hours, and pulls down less than half of a software dev salary of equivalent experience. And most of the job is rote memorization plus dealing with clients. And every minute of her day must be accounted for.
It sounds like hell compared to a software job.
- 3pt14159 5y agoI don't know many lawyers making anywhere close to what I make as a software engineer. Software development isn't perfect, but the compensation, hours, freedom, time off, potential upside, even stupid stuff like being able to wear normal clothes or get flights paid for if you want to go to a conference. It's a pretty sweet gig.
