I am interested in the attrition rate from Big Tech to traditional tech (such as enterprise software at banks or government). This will probably be a very hard adjustment for many in terms of salary, tech stack, benefits, work hours, culture,... But I still think many will prefer it over leaving tech all together., since as you said they wouldn't have learnt any other discipline if it was their first job out of college.

- ak_111 4y agoI think hard to compare in the abstract due to huge level of variance, probably if you working at palantir, uber or amazon you are working longer hours than say if you are working for apple, google or microsoft.
- Yoric 4y agoI suspect that having fixed hours would be a big change. I know that I have gotten quite used to setting my own hours. Some days, I start work at 7am, for instance. Other days, I take time for my family.
