this is probably more Cathartic than anything else but just want to say everyone here so lucky to be in tech. i moved from tech to media to what i thought would be career advancement. everyday i deal with so many fucking morons. cant do basic math. cant do basic finance zero business sense all they can do is relationship build. i know thats important and dont want to discount its importance. at microsoft people in my group were generally sharp. they dont know everything but you could argue and discuss at the same level. i cant disclose my company but its a relatively large media business (~15B revenue ~50B mcap) TC 250K MBA
Ooo, you have mba. I am so jealous.
What is MBA? I know MBS.
Masters of business administration
Go back to tech if you don't like the switch? People in tech are not "lucky" but smart and work hard, LOL
Don't you need to pass basic SAT math test to get into college? The media company hires people who didn't go to college? Besides that, there are also penty of people don't know anything about finance and business in tech companies.
LOL ignorance != morons. They just decided to learn and excel at something else: relationship building or whatever media field needs. They could say the same thing about something you’re not good at. Find others outside of work to have your “discussions at the same level”
Yeah, they are very lucky : https://www.myroadtofire.com/blog/how-engineers-can-fire-in-15-years-and-have-4000000-in-net-worth
