Food for thought. Read through all of your comments and count how many of them are condescending. I mean across all your throw-away accounts. Really think about the answer.

> what's the best-paid department/position in a tech company?

In our company specifically: sales. And like every non-engineering department at the company: female dominated.

Also, just a few months ago there was a downsizing of the engineering department in order to stack our sales team. We've also lost 20% of the remaining engineering team since then from attrition/austerity.

But if hiring for that department is frozen, as GP stated, how do you expect it to be fixed?

Vice presidents?

Or if you're excluding people management positions, I'd say probably product managers?
