    Not tech, but I know more than one person who got hired into top tier PMC professions (think consulting, accounting, law, etc) who ended up working so much overtime that they would have had more money in hand if they had worked the same hours at a minimum wage job.

    Shit can be really bad, even for professions that were once considered golden meal tickets.
