Seems like CSChads really did win the STEM lottery

only in the united states, everywhere else the pay is more grounded in reality. And everyone can see the writing on the wall that the entire industry is hilariously overdue for a correction. I know women who never opened command prompt in their life dropping $20k for bootcamps to be frontend devs
Lincoln Morris
bro just learn to code i taught myself in 3 weeks and now i have a $200k/year job with each of the FAGMAN and i make $1.2M/year
Isaiah Evans
$63,000 is good, I've never made that much in my life.
Henry Miller
I make 61k EUR as a filthy overtaxed europoor and life is pure suffering. Next year im aiming for 70k but inflation is fucking me in the ass harder than I can handle.
Matthew Ramirez
It's not going to affect me if shitty diversity hires stop finding jobs lol. Seems that software is the future and I'm in.
Luke Clark
I'm in basically the exact same situation. Can't believe I let the boomers trick me. All we had to do was study computer science...
Is is too late? I've gotten decent at coding but it seems so trivial and retarded. Who will take a chance on a self taught dev? I don't want to go to a fucking webdev bootcamp
John Sullivan
i will be mad for the rest of my life that people pushed me into engineering and away from computer science
i'm mad at myself too but at least now i know to never ever listen to anyone over 40 about anything
Aaron Diaz
yeah i mean solid devs with high IQ and actual skills should be fine. But now a lot of (non-software) companies are starting to outsource everything to europe and india
You guys could try moving into automation or robotics first and use that as leverage in interviews. That's what I did. It would make your resume more recession proof too

I thought engineering pays well?

>engineering pays well?
it can but the average iq of a mech E is like 125, so imagine how many mouth breathers slip by and complain that their CAD job in ohio doesn't pay $150k a year like entry level SWEs in california
Luke Jones
It does if you're not retarded. Unfortunately MechE is oversaturated. The money is now in aerospace, electrical, and computer.

>OP didn't play one (1) round of golf with his dad's friends and get a well paying job that expects him do do nothing all day for 150k United States Dollars a year
Just take a two week programming course and get a job as a coder for 200k a year. Whatever the fuck you're doing isn't working out OP.

There are some people that have near infinite value I guess
William Rivera
I would spend years to create an IC that looked like a cock and balls that was somehow more efficient than anything before.
Brayden Jackson
Too many engineers, not enough jobs, and people don't retire. You've got to really battle to land a good position unless nepotism can carry you. Most engineers make mediocre salaries compared to similarly difficult professions. Well, difficult to obtain because the degree is far harder than the work.
