I am a software engineer, apparently. But now, i got interested in accounting and tax. If I get a certificate, for example, Enrolled Agent or even CPA. Then I can start an accounting firm and i will be my own boss. It seems fun. However, the salaries of accounting jobs are really depressing. An entry level of bookkeeper earns about 40K a year. An EA earns less than 70k a yr. A 10-yr CPA earns less than 200K. Of course, if you go to PwC or EY, that's another story. So generally speaking, software engineers get a lot more than any other jobs. Sigh... TC: ~230K
If I goto EY with a 10-yr CPA exp, how much will I make?
no idea, but it's too late to join EY
Not true
Did you forget about doctors?
More than any other jobs is exaggerating. Doctors, investment bankers make good money
If we consider the WLB of software engineering jobs...
Ok well if you include this, then yes. What about traders at IB? 9-4
This is Investment Banking track
How many yoe needed for that
15 YOE With that much YOE SWE can also hit $1.5m
We deal with the most bullshit. We get the lowest recognition. No one wants our job. We get no travel. Our deadlines are extreme. It makes sense why we are paid more
*compares SWE to one other profession* Yep confirmed, SWE are the highest paid! OP you don't know how a max function works, you sure you are an SWE?
Generally i agree. But let's compare like with like. According to BLS data for 2021, average salary of software developers was 120k. Only 10% of software developers earned more than 168k. And 10% earned less than 64k For accountants and auditors it's 48k/79k/128k Data from bls.gov

OnlyFans ? Of course, if you have big boobs and great ass, why would you use your brain to get money ?
Statistically, a lot less money. Unless of course you are comparing the top .1% OF earner to the median swe.
