how do people in finance view software engineers?

I have friends in finance that make 7 figure bonuses. They only care about $$/TC though. I’m perfectly happy staying in software making a comfortable amount with relatively low stress.

($ $) <- like this

Mostly stressful jobs, but good money, 7 figure bonus is not uncommon. I won’t do it, but we all have our own preferences and priorities.

They view them as autistic virgin nerds, so basically the same way everybody views them
