There is a HUGE number of engineer positions where the job isn't just "to write code". If that's all you're contributing then you're in for a very limited care

- collyw 13y agoHaving worked in both I realise recently. You can stick to the corporate world. Get told to use Java, Oracle, etc. Get well paid. Have decent career prospects. "Just write code". Or my current position which is to develop the in house database, in the language if my choosing. Get to experiment with new technologies. Design it all myself (so no one to blame if it goes badly). I would be better paid in the first job, but its way less interesting.
