Software engineering isn't tied to one particular business model, like pharmacy, oil, or airlines. There's the "software industry" and there's all the industries who also have software developers. Big tech has had a massive boom, pushing up salaries. I'm not so sure devs outside of the official software industry are doing great (are they? Someone comment), though of course there's an evaporation of talent to the higher paying area.
- chasd00 4y agoI work in consulting ( more of a manager now but still save myself at least some code to write ). The software we develop is whatever we're assigned to. It could be finance, hi-tech, biomedical, resource (oil/gas), public service, whatever. There certainly seems to be plenty of work as we're always trying to hire and always short on staffing projects. Software Engineering is probably the widest and deepest career choice out there. For example, Web development is just a tiny piece of it.
