Mid career salary?
When people compare tech and finance, they always compare starting salaries. How well do they compare about 10 years into the industry? Does finance vastly out perform tech by then?
If anyone knows some sample numbers would be appreciated.
Well, it depends.
Are we talking front office, "high finance" stuff and product critical (PM, SWE etc), "top" technology roles? Or Corp Fin at Bob's Burgers & Co HQ, Nebraska and IT help desk at random company in Podunk, ND?

Good to bear in mind this is like ideal, stars align career progression. You're more likely to stall at the senior eng/senior PM level at $300-400k comp than you are to be one of the few % of people at the top of the individual contributor ladder. You're also likely to have burnt out, counseled out or fired from finance well before reaching 10+ years in, average case you get a corp gig at like $200-300k.
