Sometimes I wonder if everyone should just join tech sector. I am 30yo male earning 8k a month. I am aware that is not a bad number.

But I know people in tech sector who earn like 15k-30k even in their early 30s. That is something people in my sector earn at director level in their 40s…
Now I understand tech jobs are well paying for a reason but the gap still baffles me sometimes. A lot of my friends quit their non-tech job to learn coding to join tech.
I wonder if that is something all of us should be doing, given such a big gap between tech pay and the rest.

- You know the ppl who’s earning 15-30k in early 30s, meaning u know them personally or just hearsay? Basically the harder the role, the more niche it is to find the right skill sets and hence the higher pay you get. Go and ask the person earning 30k a month what role he’s doing. It’s not just learning coding and jump into tech industry and hey presto you will earn such high pay.Â
- Maybe i have a different opinion but this is what i think. It will never be enough for you once you keep comparing others salary. I’ll be more than happy if i have ur pay knowing how much i can pay the bills n stuffs and still can save a good amount. But its up to you if you feel you deserves a better salary. They also may have skills and experience that you havent acquired.
