I'm a young software developer working with one of the FAANG but I keep hearing that fintech companies pay Software Developers more.
What should I learn if a wanted to move to a Software development role in a Fintech company?
In all my previous SDE roles (intern/entry level) I've always had to understand the domain of the projects so I'm thinking about upskilling as I'm not looking for entry level jobs anymore.

A bit out of my wheelhouse of experience but maybe a couple questions. Why fintech over FANG? Why do you sant to make the shift in industry? What cities are you open to (post pandemic) ?

like

Fintech pays much lower (25-50%) than faang ... most often work is on legacy technologies (not every bank is ready to spend on upgrades) ... .out of Fintech companies I know (all listed banks except COF) are struggling with monoliths

Fintech also includes cypto related startups and open banking leveraging startups. So it is not mostly legacy systems. As far as I know, fintechs usually use Go, Java and Python.
