I’m going to throw a bomb: There is no other job that pays that much money. Developers are paid more than managers, even in any other sector. My uncle manages a refinery. He probably gets paid around 140k€, his house is fancy but normal. Most people who work like hell in France max out at 80k€. Meanwhile my devs start at 35k€ and get 65k€ after a fee years only (Note: French salaries are low, but employees prefer Ticket Restaurant and public healthcare to earning more, it’s a long debate - 70k€ is the top 8% of French people[1]). As a dev, you have extremely low risk and responsibilities, you need extremely little human talent which makes all the difference elsewhere, but if you study a popular framework hard enough, you can land a high paying job. So, a lot of devs are stuck because they need the money but can’t reconvert as an electrical engineer for the same money, even if they have the qualifications.
