Best industry you’ve worked in? I’m curious to hear which industry seems to offer the best comp, benefits, and work-life balance. Or maybe it just depends on the company?

Tech for the work/life balance comparatively to compensation (which is high). Back in the days of being in the office were the great office experiences and perks, but wfh life is great in its own way. I recommend checking Glassdoor and Comparably for company culture

Pharma and oil....deep pockets

Thanks! I always heard that. The only down with oil is the volatility...

Pharma has deep pockets, which I love but can be pretty draining and clients aren't always the easiest. Personally a big fan of tech overall

@AE Yeah Ive always wanted to work in Tech but only made the jump 2 months ago. It wasn’t an easy time as companies were starting to do layoffs. I had multiple companies get put on hiring freezes after I had done multiple rounds of interviews, for example. ButI was able to find a company that is still in heavy growth mode and whose funding situation makes it unlikely they will be doing any layoffs anytime soon. It took a long time to find the perfect move and it all work out, but it was worth the effort 1000%

I always like engineering. I just think it can sometimes be challenging.
