Ask HN: Which industries are the most varied in total comp? Most homogeneous?
I'm trying to get some guidance as to where to start looking for variance in total compensation, which usually correlated with work-life balance and career growth, among different industries. My first guess is that the heavily regulated industries like healthcare have less variation in total comp. As a software engineer, I know that the bottom floor of compensation scrapes minimum wage in some companies, also usually they are least desirable for quality of time and work. The only one I can think of where the floor doesn't get that bad is perhaps doctors. There are tiers of pay there too, but the bottom floor is usually high for them. Is there any research or dissertation done on this subject? Or even just a list ranking several fields from most homogeneous in total comp to least. 1 comments on Hacker News.
