>>10855397>If he's making 130k, even at a bank, he is probably actually generating a lot of money. First of all he generated zero money at the bank, he was paid to be an intern and they were just training non-programmers to do really basic software dev. Currently he is working at a software dev company writing front-end. He is part of a team of 5 other devs. The companies revenue is minuscule and they're books are all in the red.
In contrast to this I do OR and optimization work for a petroleum company. In terms of revenue I've increased the company's output by several hundred million after finding and a implement a better computational mixture model for the thermodynamic modelling component of a distillation column. With the OR work I've also saved millions in supply chain optimization. In the former I was the only researcher on the team, in the later I had help from a senior engineer.
>I'd even argue that his job is way harder than yours. By what reasoning? A 4chan post? I helped teach him how to program. I know exactly what he does. I know every library he's learned better. I can write more efficient algorithms than he does and he often asks me for help while complaining about how much he hates any form of abstraction.
>The problem is that you forgot that you cannot redeem your autism for money.Of course I can, I already sent my CV to several data science openings. STEM is for retards, I'm abandoning the engineering meme for risk consulting.
Stop being a presumptuous little cunt. The labour market doesn't work the way you think it does. You know what? You probably thought he got a normal clerk finance job didn't you? Not knowing that they pay 45k even mid career. The only people in investment banking who make money are quants and data scientists (autism).
