20% is probably a bit of an exaggeration. I wor in tech and worked in the regular industry prior. I would say my wage is about 20-30% less than my peers of the same level. I don't know anyone that works for a company that has a payband difference more than one sigma for each IC level.
- ghaff 4y agoThis is basically a drop in to Facebook or Google and make $600K/year or life isn't worth living sort of comment. (And I doubt if it's even accurate as someone with non-CS degrees.) And the idea that basically any other engineering major will make 20% of an even remotely typical CS major is idiocy.
- syntaxing 4y agoHardware engineers in MAANG makes about 20% less as well (anecdotally). Our wage is not that far off in tech (one signs as I mentioned). But we definitely have way less job openings compared to our SWE peers.
- ghaff 4y agoThe claim was you'd make 1/5th. Which may have been a wording mistake. I'd believe maybe 20% less in general--which may very well be fine for many people if that's their preference.
