Which industry has smarter people? While tech pay is lucrative, I'm afraid that people just won't be as smart. Is this a valid concern? [Tech or Pharma]
Damn. Difficult question. I'd like to say Tech workers (most) appear smarter than average but really aren't as they are devoid of common sense. Therefore I'd look to Pharma as incompetence is risky. Doesn't mean there aren't idiits in Pharma though. Nevertheless, I refuse to vote on this matter.
A bit of a biased audience to ask.
False dichotomy
Depends on the role . The scientist in Pharma is really smart although I work in business side in Pharma. But overall I feel tech people from google and Facebook are definitely smarter. Can’t comment on other tech people.
Pharma/ Med device : you can be average and hold your job, keep steady growth and play politics to climb the ladder. In Tech : Need to perform and output is more objective. You don’t perform, you out
The money is bad, man
I have worked with people in both. I would say tomato tomahto. Intelligence is about the same. At least in statistical/ds roles I would say the main differentiator is product sense. While pharma cares about critical thinking, which is in some ways in service of product sense, it's much more necessary in tech.
Or in other words, the work in pharma is usually much better scoped so it's less necessary
I don’t know how this is a comparable scenario. Pharma is massive and comprises an exceptionally diverse array of job responsibilities (BD, to R and D, to Project Management, to Labs, to Stats, and so on). I’m sure tech is equally diversified and it’s hard to compare a L4 SWE to a marketing director when the tasks are so different and the traits required to fulfill them so irrelevant to each other.
It doesn't matter ..every company will be tech company in 20 years
