[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to get into management because one day you'll be too expensive for your role. Someone younger will do it for $75K less and put in more hours. That's big tech life. So out of self-preservation you need to lean in more, advertise yourself, and make yourself indispensable to senior mgmt. [/quote] In addition to this, it’s really only the top 10-15% of programmers or coders or CS that are paid >$500k and they are highly sought after. The fAANGs throw $1-2M cash bonuses at them to get them to stay and then start ups try to throw $1-2m of preferred stock at them to get them to switch. In addition to their huge base salaries. But honestly, they do the work better and faster than 4-5 average programmers so we want them. And they problem solve. Going the mba route or PMgr route is something else entirely. You’d be leaving your craft. Which if you were top15% you’d never do. [/quote]
