>>13326857>how do the 2 actually compare?depends on a lot of factors.
tech also has been on a stupid bull run. a huge portion of your comp in tech is stock, so people working at a big tech company where the stock literally went up by 300% over the past 5 years probably made a lot more money than people who are starting now
in the long run, medicine will probably pay more. but let's say you start breaking 300k at 31 as a doctor, a SWE has been making 300k since he was 26-27
