Very straight forward - whatever grows suddenly creates a demand supply inequality; pay obviously then scales along with it  
  
 Development is a skill, the demand of which just grew exponentially  
  
 What should non-tech people do? Work in tech companies/startups maybe

Tech vs Non-Tech salaries- Grapevine

Hi non tech person here.
Wondering how such inflated salaries in tech will survive in comparison to salaries of say marketing or sales in an organisation. 
The bubble seems to be bursting but will love you know the thoughts of tech people. 
Should I make a move towards a tech role after learning coding, I have PQE of 6 years in my field and earn decent.

Operations Manager

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Young SWE start with double digit salaries, while someone in Non tech will need 5-10 years to reach that level
Even the business roles, the direct revenue generating roles don't pay good traditionally

Funny how techies think everyone gets paid similar
A lot of it changed with startups trying to acquire talent, but not sustainable
Because the market simply doesn’t pay

How do non tech compete with this skewed demand-supply chain?

Tech and Non tech Pay Partiality is something no one talks about

Engineers deserve their pay.  
  
 1 - The code that engineers write are assets of a company. The code might keep running and serving customers for years after a engineer has probably even left the company.  
 On the other hand, the work that most non-tech folks do are not assets, but an operational expense.  
  
 Companies don't derive benefit of a non-tech even beyond the same month the work is performed.  
  
 The difference is the same as painting your house vs brushing your teeth. You don't paint your house everyday but you do brush your teeth. Painting here is a long lasting asset, adds to the value of the house. Brushing is necessary work but with ultimately perishable benefits.  
  
 2 - Code that engineers write provide non-linear benefits. A team of 30 in Zerodha were able to serve 3-5x more customers in the pandemic. This same scalability does not apply to non-tech majdoori. Business has scaled? Hire more heads. Not with code. 
  
  
 Obviously above does not apply to senior managerial folks who build and architect the organisation, set the cultures, create processes. The impact of their work is long lasting and non-linear. But work of junior business non-tech folks - well, they're getting paid as much as the value they create. Low leverage, low pay. Coding is very high leverage. 
  
 Before you jump on me, I worked for sales in years. Then shifted to product. Above two points are a reality whether you like it or not.

Have always heard how techies earn more lets see hear high paying non-tech jobs!!

Tech / Non-Tech shoot pros and cons

I have 2 offers. One from a tech company and another from a non-tech company for SDE1 backend. 

The non-tech company is offering me more pay. Significantly more. 

Does working in a tech company offer you any sort of edge over working with a non-tech company? The non-tech company has good WLB. Not sure of the tech company though.

Salary growth of a non tech employee.

Founder

As a business graduate, it's often humbling to see the tech salaries based on my YOE (4-7 bracket) with the people at the top end earning 50-60+ lpa. (Fixed)

Assuming i want to optimise for Money - What can I do as a business graduate to do well similar to tech folks? 

Would love to hear from all of you.

P.S. No IB/Consulting advice please. Not the type of work I've liked 😄

Business vs Tech Salaries

Corporate Strategist

Okay I want to move to tech... Right now I'm an Ads Performance Optimizer with an MBA and want to pivot into tech. I don't know where to start what to do... 
People who have moved from non tech to tech please give me your valuable suggestions!

Non-tech to tech?

and how do you get them? 
Would love all commenters to add their ctc, experience and their role.

what are the hightest paid non tech ops roles?

Strategy & Operations

I see candidates with 2-4 years earning in 20LPA+ whereas sales and marketing folks who sit with 4-8LPA tops. Isn't the disparity too much?

Is tech overpaid? Why not sales or marketing?

Marketing Manager

do you like coding? do you enjoying keeping up with new things? do you like the idea of continuous learning (especially in the field)? aren’t you overwhelmed? if tech didn’t pay well, would you still be working in tech?


- fellow brethren

Tech folks, do you actually like working in tech?

Business Analyst

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am at 4 yoe and working as a full stack dev (.net and sql server) 
I am feeling stuck and looking for a change. 
Still at 8 lpa haven't got a hike in last 3 years ( covid + recession) 
No matter what I do to my resume I get no call backs for interviews. 
Do I continue in  .net or do I upskill into some other tech stack. 
Any and all advice would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance.
