It would cover everything from common compensation structures and required qualifications to where these opportunities are typically found—like professional association job boards, executive search firm networks, and specialized forums, rather than just general platforms like LinkedIn.

Resource Hub & Mentorship Platform (for New Tech Graduates): "Tech Entry Point: Navigating the New Graduate Job Market."
- Product Detail: A subscription-based platform offering curated lists of companies still hiring for junior/entry-level tech roles, including lesser-known companies or non-tech companies with tech departments. It would also provide practical guides on building in-demand niche skills, strategies for effective networking, portfolio-building projects, and a mentorship program connecting new graduates with experienced professionals.
- Target Audience: Recent computer science graduates, coding bootcamp alumni, and self-taught developers struggling to find their first tech job.
Expected Benefit for all opportunities: These products and services address clear anxieties and information gaps for distinct professional groups. By providing unique, hard-to-find data, actionable strategies, and targeted support, they offer significant value. Revenue can be generated through subscriptions, course fees, and premium features on platforms. Addressing these specific pain points offers a strong potential for creating profitable ventures that genuinely help users achieve their career and financial goals.

If you redid this by profession rather than company, I’m sure you’d see a lot more doctors and lawyers.

Now imagine being an Indian outsource employee, or just an employee in the UK in general. 100k is pretty much the cap on salary in the UK for tech, we even hire grads on less than minimum wag

Yeah because they’re involved in 0% of the risk and logistics in owning a company… dumb comment

Interesting thing is, that those employees making 250k/yr at Google/Apple are only getting a very small fraction of the millions and billions of dollars generated from the code/hardware they'

Did you de-duplicate jobs? Both within a single job platform but also across. Many companies post many reqs for the same position, but also do things like post PER state or campus, even thoug

What's been happening at PwC? I saw many tech positions listed. Did they buy anyone or are they pushing for tech?

Working for CVS seems like it would be pretty chill.

I'm guessing deloitte and KPMG are similar in reality, but pwc and ey list salaries on most/all of their postings.

Most doctor jobs are not on LinkedIn
u/Impossible-Aerie6970
Those high-paying job bubbles are simultaneously inspiring and depressing for a non-tech job holder like me. Big ups to Google and tech dominance!

Yeah people outside of the US dream of a job as lucrative as a FAANG engineer in the US. Here in the UK we have a monthly argument to the executives about how our US employees get paid like 4

u/Krogsly
Agreed, but the company has a bad reputation already. It's difficult to imagine that they take a different approach to handling their employees in the PBM world.
u/Drugba
Yes. Thats how businesses work.
If you want to directly benefit from the work you do then you go work for yourself. That has obvious downsides though.
u/saster1111
Revenue per employee means almost nothing, it's profit per employee that matters which is ~$167k for Google. Remembering that the salary of that same employee is excluded from the profit.

I knew a guy working there as a data scientist and it was basically like a government job.

Avg revenue per employee is around ~2 million

If a job posting has a very wide salary range of like 100k-300k, would that get captured here? Or does the full range or average have to be above 250?

Maybe, but also those professions change jobs less frequently. Tech workers are infamous for switching every few years.

I had imagined it would be similar to retail banking, by the far chillest dev industry I've been a part of. But I also realize now that this post isn't about dev jobs.

Anyone making $250K is likely working for their PBM or other healthcare subsidiaries (think actuaries) rather than retail pharmacy.

I do really feel for the new grads these days... I got in during the hiring boom immediately before COVID, and luckily got retained during the huge layoffs during and after since I got placed

Because they didn't generate it. They're new hires. The people that did generate it are all retired, or just working because they enjoy the work.

This is like 7% of the total BLS new jobs figure for the month. I agree, this seems way too high.

- Your total compensation is almost certainly a good bit over $250k, likely closer to $500k. Nearly every FAANG base salary is under $250k. So what?
