Tech Bros Are Inferior - Follow Up to Follow Up

Lots of anger and sexual frustration has been reverberating from SWE troglodytes and incels on the last post, which compared high finánce to tech. Here I am going to lay out the weighted average compensation for fiscal year 2021 which has been peer reviewed by over 460 sources across 26 developed and 72 emerging countries:

AM/ER/S&T/CorpDev💪🦍🍻🍾:

🦍Analyst - $220k
🦍Associate - $570k
🦍VP/Director - $800k - $1.6MM
🦍MD - $1.6MM - $8MM

IBD💪🦍🍻🍾:

🦍Analyst - $270k
🦍Associate - $700k
🦍VP/Director - $1.2-1.8MM
🦍MD - $1.8MM - $12MM

PE🙇‍♀️🤰🙇‍♀️🤰:

🤰Analyst equivalent - $560k
🤰Associate equivalent - $1.1-1.8MM
🤰VP/Director equivalent - $1.8-4MM
🤰MD equivalent - $4-65MM

🤰🙇‍♀️😩🙇‍♀️🤰Partner - $65-800MM


Tech🤮🤡♿️♿️:

♿️Entry level SWE - $160-220k
♿️Mid level SWE - $220-340k
♿️Upper level SWE - $340-670k
♿️Highest level SWE - $670-720k

♿️Upper Tech Management (VP of Tech, Director of Tech, CTO) - $730k - $2.2MM

This is in addition to tech having MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH lower prestige and a much worse culture (math club♿️♿️😹👎 VS frat house🦍🦍😤). There is no debate whatsoever, high finance is the most profitable and most prestigious career path.
