Why do financial and IT engineers earn much higher annual salaries than senior civil engineers? (Engineer and Finance)

Actually, senior civil engineers are also very lucrative and probably make about the same annual salary as finance and IT engineers. But if it's a general civil engineer, it's probably going to be paid less than finance and IT engineers.

Nowadays, registered structural design engineers and senior civil and geotechnical registered engineers are also very lucrative. If the senior civil and geotechnical registered engineers and structural design engineers in design institutes and other organizations, have already received the registration certificate, then a year down the salary is also quite high, may be a year down the annual salary is also able to reach the level of 500,000 to 600,000 or even higher.

This level of salary is also similar to that of financial and IT engineers, and sometimes, even if they are outside the license, there may be more than 100,000 or even higher income in a year.

But if there is no registration certificate of the ordinary construction unit of civil engineers, may be the annual salary income is not so high, due to a lot of construction unit of civil engineers construction work is busy, may not have the time to go down to the registration certificate, then the income may be more common.

So, if it is a registered structural engineer and geotechnical registered engineer in the design institute and other units, then it is also very lucrative, and the level of salary income is comparable to that of financial and IT engineers. But if one is an ordinary civil engineer's income, it may be difficult to compare with financial and IT engineers.

There are many reasons why financial and IT engineers earn more on average than civil engineers, but the two main reasons are as follows.

1, industry differences

The financial and IT industries may be easier to make money compared to the civil construction industry, and this may be the main reason for the high salary in the financial and IT industries.

The financial industry is the unit that operates the funds and makes money by operating the funds. Although every time the money operation, the financial industry is to earn a little bit of money, but the amount of money is too large, this will be easy to form a scale effect, which will make it easier to make money in the financial industry, and thus the financial industry salary is higher.

The IT industry is obviously the main channel of the current high-tech, the current IT industry is developing very fast, and many companies are developing very quickly, but also very lucrative, this will be able to give the IT engineers a fairly high salary.

But the civil engineering industry belongs to the basic industry, making money is relatively difficult, therefore, may give the civil engineer's salary is not high.

2, the impact of demand

Civil engineering and construction industry development is slower, the demand for talent increased less, while the financial and IT industry development is faster, the demand for talent increased faster, this is also the financial IT engineers salary is higher than that of the civil engineers a reason.

Now China's civil construction industry, although the development of the industry is also relatively fast, but still not as fast as the development of the financial and IT industries. The civil construction industry is slowly accumulating more and more talent, this caused the civil engineer is also more and more, and the demand did not grow a lot, more talent, this may be the cause of the civil engineer's annual salary is not high for a more important reason.

And the financial industry and the IT industry development speed is faster, for the financial talent demand is greater, this is also caused by the financial talent annual salary is higher than the reason for civil engineers.

In summary, if it is a registered geotechnical and structural engineer, the annual salary is also very high. But if it is an ordinary civil engineer, then due to the difference in the industry as well as the impact of talent demand, the annual salary is still much lower than the financial and IT engineers.

As a graduate of four years on the successful passage of the professional part of the examination of registered civil engineers, and to get the license to practice, I sincerely feel that, in fact, now the civil engineering industry, has been very mature, there is not much technological breakthroughs space.

A hundred years ago, it is very difficult to build a tall building, a bridge, the domestic civil engineering field knowledge and technology are very lacking, so at that time, the construction, civil engineering masters, such as Mao Yisheng, Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin, are very much admired and worshiped, of course, their salaries at that time should also be higher than in other industries.

Civil engineering has the need to have a solid foundation in how many disciplines, high math, a dozen or so mechanics, materials and so on, all to learn very well. Even now, it's not easy to learn all of these courses.

But one good thing is that today, a hundred years later, our country has accumulated a great deal of experience in civil engineering, and the technology has become very mature. Even a graduate, who didn't study very well, can get a project done brilliantly when he arrives in the work field, having seen multiple examples of projects, while being driven by many experienced seniors.

Now in the engineering industry, also on the Three Gorges Dam, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge immersed tube tunnel part of the technological breakthrough difficulties, breakthroughs after these difficulties, and other projects can be a variety of reference. For example, after the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor, there are any other technical difficulties that need to be racked?

There are fewer technical challenges to contend with, and more people working in the field, so the payroll will be less.

And the subject said IT engineers, most of them work in Internet companies, right? First of all this industry is new, there are many technical difficulties need to break through, just like civil engineering a hundred years ago. Secondly, Internet companies, such as Ali, Tencent, comes with the function of sucking money, of course, give their employees a high salary, is also normal.

As for finance, all need not be analyzed, dealing directly with money, they have no money, who else can make money?

As a civil engineering graduate, as far as I know, engineers working in the civil engineering industry do earn a lot less than those in the finance and IT industries. Although there are specialties and professions, but I have to say that the income gap between professionals in different occupations is indeed too big!

Value Walk believes that the reasons for this phenomenon are as follows:

The civil engineering industry is a traditional industry, and this industry is basically dominated by large state-owned enterprises in China, such as large and important projects in civil engineering, which are mainly accomplished by construction companies such as China State Construction Corporation (CSC), China Railway Corporation (CRCC), China Railway Construction Corporation (CRCC), and China National Railway Corporation (CNRCC), and so on, and there is no sufficient market competition. Without full competition in the industry, it is difficult for industry practitioners to earn a relatively high income.

Secondly, the civil engineering industry output products are not different, such as a railroad, highway, road or bridge, the basic theory and construction technology and a few hundred years ago and not much different, civil engineering industry engineers in their own professional field of expertise to update the need for upgrading is relatively small.

So the senior people in the industry will not be easily eliminated by the new technology, but the older the more senior, resulting in more senior engineers in the industry stock, China in the previous three decades of rapid development of the construction industry in the era of a large number of people to enter the civil engineering industry, all kinds of civil engineers are relatively surplus.

And the financial industry, IT industry belongs to the change is relatively fast, technological updates, ever-changing. Industry veterans who do not learn, do not progress, will soon be replaced by the ever-changing technology and master more advanced technology newcomers.

Practitioners in these industries whose knowledge and skills are time-sensitive and may soon become obsolete will earn more during the period when their skills are in demand by society.

Services in the financial and IT industries are differentiated services, which dictates that different people are hired to get different results.

For example, in the financial asset management industry, the value of a fund manager with better performance is unlimited and irreplaceable. If a different person is hired, the results achieved with the same qualifications will be very different. Different firms in the same business do not offer exactly the same quality of service, or the same results.

Each individual provides a service that is unique and cannot be replaced.

Civil engineering is an asset-heavy industry and profitability is largely dependent on assets.

Financial and IT industries are asset-hungry industries, where profitability relies mainly on the technology mastered by the practitioner, and the quality of service that is unique to the individual, with pricing power.

So if you want to get a high income, you should be engaged in those asset-light, knowledge and technology-intensive, individual services with differentiation and irreplaceability of the industry.

The financial industry, IT industry belongs to the faster change, technology updates, rapidly changing. Industry veterans a day do not learn, do not progress, will soon be replaced by the ever-changing technology and master more advanced technology newcomers.

Practitioners in these industries whose knowledge and skills are time-sensitive and may soon become obsolete will earn more during the period when their skills are in demand by society.

Services in the financial and IT industries are differentiated services, which dictates that different people are hired to get different results.

Choice is greater than effort, the three are in different tracks, their entry qualifications, ecological rules, value creation, social impact, etc. are significantly different.

Starting point, to the same Tsinghua students, for example, the professional selection of the average score ranking, financial IT civil engineering. Starting line, civil engineering is in the downside.

The amount of knowledge, all to the senior level of cognitive deposition required to undifferentiated socially necessary labor time discount, finance to tens of thousands of hours, IT to tens of thousands of hours, civil engineering for thousands of hours.

Industry characteristics, finance and IT are technology-intensive, civil engineering is labor-intensive.

Operating equivalent, all to host a large project for comparison, to deal with the financial crisis project equivalent in the trillions of dollars, industrial digital intelligence platform construction in the hundreds of billions of dollars, mega-construction of tens of billions of dollars.

National importance, the prevention of financial risk is the first of the three major battles, the international financial center built into a hard task. Digital intelligence innovation is a strong national strategy, industry-wide digital intelligence, the Internet of everything is a strong national roadmap hard indicators. Civil engineering can share in the new infrastructure, but the big head is 5G, big data, blockchain, AI, new energy and so on.

Civil engineering is more to create the value of traditional applications, finance is more to create the surplus value of capital, IT is more to create a powerful new resource data value. Ideas, architecture, links, analysis, etc., the objective of the existence of different dimensions of the difference.

The cake is small, and the people who share it are many, and the adults pay less attention to it, so they get less than the neighbor's children.

The right thing to do!

The former is to earn money with brain power IQ, the latter is to earn money with the labor force gas, the same point is that are a waste of energy, a waste of time, a waste of life, and finally in exchange for millions of dollars of wealth to eat and drink a happy and happy life

It is very simple, with the industry, civil engineers are infrastructure traditional industry profitability is generally not high! The financial industry, IT industry profitability is the infrastructure industry can not be compared! The more you earn, the more you send! It is very simple!

Background of the third-tier city of Qingdao, low-wage nationally known, this year's social wage of 7000.

Alumni of the civil engineering program graduated in a year of 7-8 classes, 80 years, about 13 years or so, the original in the construction of the 8 Bureau, a few thousand a month, did not do a high 5.6 years, and then changed the job to do a year.

Then the headhunter came, said another local company to give him an annual salary of 400,000, she was afraid of the internal, said to ask his wife.

The headhunter asked for his wife's phone number to ask for conditions, and she casually said, "You give me 500,000 dollars and I'll call him. The headhunter said, card number. Afternoon 500,000 to the account.

I major in computer science, diving in the it group, so far found that Qingdao bullish engineers and even technical director treatment over 20,000 not many, can give to 15k are very few.

An industry salary is affected by many factors, take the problem you mention, in recent years, the mobile Internet industry is developing very rapidly, attracting a lot of capital investment, then the mobile Internet practitioners will naturally become higher salary, which does not mean that the

IT

Engineers have the technical difficulty than civil engineers, technology than civil engineers to be greater. Civil engineers are more complex than civil engineers, it is entirely determined by the heat of the capital. If in the future other new industries are emerging, such as space transportation, then the capital will be invested in this industry, giving generous treatment to attract talent. Human and material resources in the capital point of view is essentially the same, is a commodity only, with commodity properties will be affected by supply and demand, and even your senior or seniority are not relevant.

No, civil engineering should be very high.

When I was in college, I was originally enrolled in our school's hottest civil engineering program, but the score line did not reach the transfer to the computer to go, I had to learn the computer.

To this day, I still think about going to do civil engineering it, but civil engineering you to senior, the salary should also be quite high it.
