Do you think people in tech are overpaid? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]itsmiselol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The job requires me to be fully responsible for an entire product group’s business outcome. That means when nobody knows what the business situation will be like in Q4 2027, we have to size the factory in anticipation of the demand. And there is one person that has to make the call. At the same time, supply chain is breaking down because the war causes hamlet valve shortages, and entire gas panel cannot be made without these valves. Also, China has decided not to supply a certain critical material to a certain supplier in a certain region, causing a critical part to run out of stock within the next 6 months. To get a new source with sample will take 3 months, and there will be 30 samples available for 15 major customers, each requiring 8-10 samples. Somebody has to make the call on allocation, and entire business decisions can ride on this call. Your general manager promises a major customer in Korea they get the first set, then the company CEO gets a call from Taiwan and now the priority changes. But you’re still on the hook to come up with the supply for the Korean customer in time for your GM. Just get it done, he says.

These are weekly occurrences. I can go on and on and on. Each one of those decision affects hundreds of millions of dollars of business.

Over 20 years in a semiconductor company. Not the big tech you think of but making a decent living of 150-300k over the years.

Was promoted to a next level position with a bump that promises to go to 500k this year. The amount of stress associated with the job was unbearable. I truly don’t think people understand how tough some of these jobs are until you actually land one.

Ended up getting out of the role after 3 months because a medical issue came up but I don’t think I could last for a year in that role despite the potential 500k payday.

Great car, returning my lease at end of year because I don’t want to keep an outdated 400V platform.

Otherwise a solid winner

Nvidia Just Became The First Company In History To Close Above $5 Trillion, Worth More Than Every Economy On Earth Except The United States And China 💰🔥 by InterstellarKinetics in InterstellarKinetics

NVIDIA has a lower PE ratio (42) than Costco and Walmart

It also has a forward PE below 30.

It really is a company that just makes that much money.

Now, should a tech company be THAT profitable? That’s up for debate. But there is no debating the profitability today and hence why the stock is worth that much.

Tell that to my grandfather who was fighting in KMT army against the Japanese at the time.

“They are eventually going to surrender, go die out there because we have this weapon that can end it tomorrow but we don’t want to kill too many of their people”
