Tech vs. Finance the ULTIMATE Comparison (Salaries & Careers)

Tech and finance have the most monetarily rewarding careers. Tech produces a relatively high amount of young millionaires from successful IPOs while the compensation in finance can reach 7 figures for those that live and breath making business and climbing the ladder. I've been contemplating a career in finance and the exposure to capital markets and the work hard, play hard, win hard mentality in NYC only galvanized acting on that idea even more. During my time here so far, I've got to know multiple tech and finance professionals, and had done a lot of research myself on the topic. In this video, I cover the 3 most rewarding and competitive careers in tech and finance, each in 3 different levels: Software Engineer, Product Manager, Engineer Manager in tech, and Investment Banker, Private Equity, Management Consultant in finance, at the junior, senior and executive or director levels, including how much these roles pay at different levels and what the work looks like.
