Depends on what you mean by being treated well. The tech industry typically has fantastic office spaces, benefits and pay, but generally speaking they get overworked and under appreciated.
Social work, public health, education and that kind of βgood for the worldβ work (not sure how to lump it all together) typically has bad pay, long hours, and unpleasant work spaces, but a really high degree of appreciation by their coworkers, superiors and clients.
Just some examples Iβm familiar with
All the social workers I know do way too much work for way too little pay, and often care more and end up bringing their work home mentally.
By good for the world work, you mean "Noble Professions"?
Thanks. Is that a term?
Not sure, but that's how my relatives call them.
I don't agree on the office spaces in tech. They are good looking for sure, but they still have open space mostly. We need real offices back. Like one maximum 2 people per office. A company that offers that is a good company. I haven't found one yrt that pays decently and offer real offices
Different personal preferences I guess!
