Been with the current one for two years.

Sorry you weren't smart enough to pass the required math classes.

Literally everyone on wall street and MBB would like to have a word with you. Enjoy your no future dead end job you fucking loser. What's your ceiling, in the 100ks? Cute.

It's a small price new grads pay for the power and status that will grant them a ticket to success inside.

Do you want to work a 9-5, save up for game tickets and play WoW, or do you want to get your dick sucked in Dubai?

exactly, If you have hustle you can earn bank in investment banking.

Can someone explain this IT meme to me?

It actually seems like a lucrative field here in Denmark and it seems like many people earn a lot doing it + the gov always talks about how we need more IT people.

>tfw considering getting a CCNA R+S cert by unsure if I should

>>1736545
People think doing something autistic like engineering/dev/IT will make them money. It won't. At best you'll be middle management with a beer belly with a <130k salary, kids who don't love you and a wife who sleeps with Tyrone while you're at work.

If you have a decent IQ, aren't lazy, and aren't autistic you have no excuses not to be in iBanking, management consulting or law if you can get into a good school if you actually want to earn real money and become a somebody.

>>1736512

It's pretty good, I intern and am planning to sign with a major fortune 500 company's security department. The money isn't amazing but its solid with a lot of room to move up over time. I pretty much just learned everything on the job but the people in my department actually enjoy working with me so they can overlook some of my CS knowledge gaps.

>>1736725
>You won't make shit being a dev

Clearly you just have something against people who can pass math classes.

Just accept that nobody gives a shit about your ponytails and hackathons, dweeb. Lose some weight, learn how to talk to girls, put on a suit, and join the dark side :^)

>>1736754

230k sounds better. So does 330k.

Have fun sending your children to state school

>>1736763
I've worked in finance. It sucked, so I switched to IT. Now I make more money and am happier. Since I actually have good people skills, I control the autists. Keep telling yourself that working in finance is the only way to make money.

>>1736782
Nobody cares about gathering requirements for your office's printing system. You will never not make a massive impact, roll with the elites, and become high-status. You probably wear running shoes with jeans too gtfo

>he thinks that the parasites at Wall Street stealing pennies off millions of tiny trades contribute to anything
>he thinks he won't have his intestines decorating the trees like garland after the purge

Took a business/data analyst job in tech because I couldn't find a job after my business masters, pay is bad but the place is fun, so stayed for two years.

Now I want to get into finance and make bank, but don't want to do a cuck IT function.

What do? From what I hear, iBanking is out if you don't have a number of internships leading up to it.

Private Banking? Trading? I just want to make bank, I don't mind technical work

It's funny how people in finance believe that because they talk about big numbers all day, they think they're important. You're just another brick in the wall kiddo.

Let's see my back office "cuck" software development consultant position
>outrageous pay because you know the ancient system they have
>7.5 hour days with flexible hours, meaning I come in sometime between 0700 and 1200 depending how I'm feeling
>that is if I'm not working comfily from home
>once per month on call for a week with 50% pay running when not working, 75% during Sundays and public holidays
>can bill 4 hours minimum if the phone as much rings during that time
>hardly any calls because T3 support and the system is solid
>no stress because said solid system and no insane schedules for new deliverables.
>only competent colleagues who are all bros
>superb atmosphere
>wear shorts and T-shirts to work
>with the reasonable hours have time to take care of my body
>also have time for hobbies and gf
>can travel the world with all the time off I can't take

Meanwhile you're working in the front office thinking you've got the better job with
>16 hour days at minimum wage level hourly pay because it's part of the career before you "make it"
>maximal stress levels because if you fuck up at all you'll at best be stuck in your position for longer, though probably just let go
>extremely competitive colleagues who will undermine you at every opportunity to "make it"
>corporate hell with all that it includes
>no time for anything other than work, eat, sleep
>potential gf is riding the cock carousel waiting for you to "make it" before cashing it all out
>even if you "make it" the stress doesn't go anywhere and you've still gotta perform
>expected to not take any time off while trying to "make it"

Yeah keep telling yourself how you've got the superior position. I constantly see new recently hired guys like you who think they're hot shit only to see them turn into husks of their former selves within few years while trying to desperately make it.

This pretty much describes why every IT job I've had fired me. I had some of the best metrics in every other category except I could only average 93% customer satisfaction metrics which was derived from about 3 negative survey responses out of 40 returned per month. The negative surveys where from people like this.

You should look for a more technical role somewhere else, bonus points if they don't use the word cyber.

I've worked for Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, Salesforce and Vodafone.

Oracle was the best. Was easy to clear over 6 figures, commission was uncapped, and they had kickers and accelerators for going over target.

Used to clear 10 to 12k a quarter regularly. Could literally vanish after 2 weeks into a quarter if I hit target and no one gave a fuck.

World class training was available, paid education and multiple trips abroad to party every year.

IBM were the absolute worst. I left after 6 months. Capped commission, awful corporate culture and didn't really care about your development.

I work for an ISP now as a solutions architect making 6 figures, including commission. I basically get paid to design networks and explain this to director level retards of other large corporates.

Commission is capped out at 200% but you can clear between 30 - 35k a quarter in commission on top of basic with kickers. Happens about once a year when I close a blue whale.

Generally the payout averages about 15 to 20k per quarter.

IT grunt work is a meme. ICT and IT sales are highly lucrative.

Never went to collage. Just did CCNA then CCNP, but have social skills to go with it.
