- bad conditions and good pay (finance, law, medicine)
Over the past 10 years big tech has provided good conditions for very good pay. In my opinion that is going to change for the next 2 yrs.
I refuse to hire engineers in Bay Area because, though they are very good, they are entitled and generally too expensive. The good times will come again but for now I'm hoping the tech folks start coming down to earth again. Don't expect a 400k TC and not expect to grind.
Salary is always relative ($120K in SV may seem like a very low salary and only for junior engineers… in Berlin 99% of senior software engineers with 10 years of experience make less than that). But working conditions (e.g., normal working hours, possibility to work remotely) shouldn’t just go away.
