TIL: Hardware pays more than Software at every level, in India

Ten years ago at campus placements, my EE batchmates were all chasing software roles. A few did EECS/CS masters abroad specifically to get away from EE and closer to CS/ML. Qualcomm, TI, Intel were not the most prestigious companies to get your first job at, and they paid lesser.

That sentiment has shifted completely. Hardware is in fact leading Software in pay, if you compare the P90 total comp between the two.
