This is the crazy thing. Such fundamental important technology but salaries generally suck. Much more money in cat memes and influencer channels.
- buildbot 3y agoYeah the salaries for EEs are really depressing in most of the industry. It's really hard work. Most EEs end up leaving for software or research (I did!).
- vasco 3y agoI took EECS, did a masters in analog design and I've only worked professionally making shitty SaaS websites. Making way more money with way less stress while still feeling accomplished that I learned how to do the complex stuff I wanted to know how. Very hard to make nearly as much otherwise.
- ClimaxGravely 3y agoI went to school for CS while one of my best friends went for EE. It definitely seemed like the far more complex discipline. In fact for a small project in an elective he programmed a computer vision system that was far ahead of anything me or my peers had made at the time in our CS program. He had pretty much zero programming experience. I must admit he's a particularly smart person but it was crazy that I went on to make more money than him. His work is way more complicated than mine as far as I can tell.
