But the money is crap outside of software engineering... Can't make enough margin if the work being done doesn't scale. Even building a chip requires multiple contacts and factors all over the world to line up but with software the costs to deploy for additional users is marginal and potential revenues compared to initial investments are like nothing I could have imagined in electrical engineering.
I'm an electrical engineer that slowly moved into exclusively software roles, though the signal processing background has helped in multiple roles as well.
