I'm curious - what is the compensation like for a SWE working in med-tech? i.e. software that drives mission (and life) critical things during surgery, etc.?
I would hope such people would be compensated and treated very well, but I fear I would not be surprised at all of they were paid significantly less than a SWE working on optimizing better ways to post kitten pictures online.
- andrewon 5y agoYou are right. The base salary could be similar to tech but bonus and stock are generally way lower. My company has problem keeping SWEs.
- decafninja 5y agoAre SWEs (and tech employees in general) considered a cost center there? If so, who is the profit center? Sales?
- andrewon 5y agoYes R&D is cost. Sales is profit.
