Which CS career makes the most money?
Software engineer? solutions engineer? Solutions architect? Even if the title is not listed here, just out of curiosity, which CS career makes the most money? Edit: it seems like from TeamBlind, everyone hypes SWEs a ton, especially when they’re talking about TC or wanting more TC. I am an SWE myself, but do they make the most? Or do other technical customer facing roles also make just as much?
Have a conversation with ChatGPT about your career goals and skill sets. Think about it from a business point of view. Supply and demand, barriers to entry, etc. Also think about it from a trends perspective. When mobile development was new in 2008, they were highest paid. Now that anyone can code mobile and tools are easier, mobile devs are relatively cheap. What is hot now will not be hot in 5 years. Guaranteed in Computer Science!

Management at FAANG is best for mid-wits
Middle managers?
Yeah, but that gravy train might run out bc tech CEO’s realized how much money they’re throwing at useless organizational bloatware
I’d say aim for wherever your skill sets are. A good SA can make more than a mediocre swe.
