      Obligatory: YoE 20, TC 43k. Such is life for us non-SWE office monkeys!

      Seconding this; that's an amazing salary for back office work; I did it for 16 years. I topped out at about 55k and my manager, who had been doing it for 35 years, only made 85k.

    What does back office work mean?

    • Reconciliation, balancing, BAU reporting, operational/clerk type work. The stuff employers love to automate or ship to low-skill regions.

      If you want to do SWE

      Your best bet is to use your high TC and go to a coding bootcamp. Work your ass off and emerge with a job. It might not be the best tech job, but you just need one job to get started and learn.
