In companies like Blizzard, Microsoft, Sun(Now oracle), Google, CS guys on an average earn 60-100% more than IT guys of same experience (at least 6-7 years minimum experience required).
But in companies like SAP, Yahoo, Pega, the IT guy makes much more, the CS guy will just get trampled.
I don't know about your company but most companies simply don't replace CS guys. And don't go by the definition of what's an IT role and what's a CS role by company website. Those things are posted by HR.
I know of six CS guys working in our company since 20 years. But again it depends on...
Dude, I worked in IT. I am really good at drafting and organization. I was having an easy life. I was about to be a PM soon. I know how fun it can be, and how challenging sometimes to manage things like "clash between expectations of two stakeholders". Been there, done that.
But I din't study...
What Mathematical principles are used in SCM? Do you have serious computational crunches. Do you come up with requirements like the number of CPU cycles must range between p and q, the memory will be limited? Do you have NP complete and incomplete approaches? Do you do Linear Algebra, like...
Dude, you keep on saying that CS people get fired. Here, I am kinda in middle-level management of a CS department. I know what kinda havoc will be caused by our CS guy quitting. You are continuing to tell me he is replaceable when I know he is not!
Again and again I am asking you this. WHY...
Dude, I am not saying IT is useless. It's useful indeed. IT is business, its application. IT creates an economic boom, not CS. IT creates jobs for CS people. I am aware of all of that.
But IT is not technically or Mathematically challenging like CS. It's more about management, organization...
Do they take an algorithm, several mugs of coffee, do the math, do computations to figure out how things can be made more efficient from a COMPUTATIONAL perspective? Do they work on cutting edge computer science. Do they deal with insane amount of Math? If so, it's technical. If so, it's CS...
1) A person who is really intent on sabotaging Mecca/Madina can convert to Islam, do what he wants to do, then revert back.
2) If the Saudis trust the Chinese to build a mono-rail for them, why can't they trust them into their cities?
Can someone give me the full story or legitimate reason...
My passport neither says Muslim or Atheist. It says American!
When I said 'you' I wasn't refering to you bro. I read your post, it was indeed admirable. I was refering to the guy I quoted: Omar1984.
Why would a CS guy work in something as ridiculously non-technical and business oriented as SCM? SCM is about business, it's about enterprise, it's about utility, not COMPUTER SCIENCE. A CS guy working there should OBVIOUSLY be ridiculed to oblivion.
Oh wait! Did you confuse 'coders' to CS guy.
You keep saying CS guys are easy to replace, and that just makes me laugh so hard. That's what happens when you work in a totally non-technical environment for EONS. You need to stop working on shitty SCM and get into SOME REAL HARDCORE stuff. Goto Blizzard and tell them "it's easy to replace CS...
You people never give me any reason to admire religion do ya? Thank you!
So you want their technology, you want their managerial efforts, planning and implementation. You just don't want them stepping inside your cities.
I've worked at Oracle. Crappy work. I've actually worked on some modules of JDeveloper [As in creating JDeveloper not coding on it]. Crappy, annoying work, I would have enjoyed that if I did not understand computers so well or if I just wanted a good pay rather than good pay and challenging job...
No, I never said CS is about design and IT is about implementation. The difference, on paper, is very subtle. The difference, in real world, is very evident.
Usually, when we talk about IT. we think in terms of 'applying' computer products/tools to create solutions. For instance, someone...
No. That's not how it works. We create the security algo, we implement it. We are the ones that optimize it. You guys just get the credit. Ferrari driving? Don't compare that with IT. No one can fake experience for even a second in a race-car driving circuit. But, people get by for years in IT...
Go check out linkedin and figure out how many electronics/electrical people are now successful IT professionals. From my own family. My two cousins are [One electronic and the other electrical]. My own brother is [He did a BA and MBA and he is now working with SAP]. My sister-in-law is. My...
The reason why I am sure that you have NO idea what CS is, stems from the fact that you keep using the word 'CS consultants'. CS does not follow a consulting model. CS people are employed by the same company for 20-30 years. Either that, or they become FREELANCERS. Never consultants.
Having...
