Why is management industry so severely underpaid compared to tech in India?
Why is it that in tech, people from low-tier colleges are earning 40+ LPA in their 20s, while in finance/management, only top B-school grads (like IIMs) get those salaries? Many tech folks, even from non-IITs, earn well based on their skills, but in finance, your B-school matters a lot.
Why is that normal?
Also, in tech, mid-level devs earn 50+ LPA, but in management, the senior-level salary maxes out at 1 crore. Does skills not matter in finance? I'm 23 and not good at competitive exams like CAT. Can I break out of this loop and upskill in a related field to land a high salary?
