Software engineers are concentrated in major metropolitan areas, often high cost ones (e.g. the SF bay area), so comparisons to the national median income are not necessarily accurate.
- walshemj 13y agoYou would need to compare it to other professions lawyers/medical doctors and other types of engineers - and I woudl bet that the median for those working in the tech industry's is lower than MD's and lawyers
- eLobato 13y agoSo is the average level of education of people working in the tech industry and the barriers of entry.
- walshemj 13y agoA Ceng/PE has the same requirements as a MD or lawyer arguably more so in the case of lawyers - but a Ceng or PE will earn less than a MD or lawyer for the same level of experience And dont you need a First from a good university to stand a good chance of high paying job in SV?
