So the Tax advantages and building equity are worthless and play no part in peoples desire to buy instead of rent. Ok

>A thorough interview in physical engineering disciplines will often expect you to demonstrate/validate something about your technical skill in-person, unless you are being interviewed because people already have validated knowledge about your capabilities (e.g., hiring a known individual from a competitor that is well-respected among peers).

This to me is one of the worst things about the Tech industry. You could be a senior engineer at Google and to move to a new company you will have to do the same algorithm interviews that New Grads are doing. It's a bad look for the industry. Like oh I see on your resume that you have worked for Facebook, Google and Amazon, well we better put you though an algorithm interview because you could have just been a false positive at all 3 companies. It massively devalues SWEs in an industry that we already know colludes to depress wages.

>This probably has more to do with Aeronautics actually practicing engineering as compared to today's software development practices. Also software development as a field is far less mature than traditional engineering disciplines. That's not meant to be pejorative - it's just where humanity is.

Not disagreeing but my point was that they have a far better performance record despite not doing the bizarre interviews that the Tech industry favors.

I'm sorry but this is such BS. There are what, a dozen other engineering industries out there? EE, Civil, Mechanical, Aeronautical etc. and in not a single one of them do they do this monkey dance. It would be absurd to ask a Aeronautical Engineer to do something like derive the Navier-Stokes Equation on a whiteboard and its equally absurd to play the same game with SWE's, you all have just been bamboozled and strong-armed by employers into accepting it as a valid practice. I doubt you would be willing to say that those other industries are failures or hire low quality engineers because they don't torture their employees with essentially pointless trivia games.

In fact one might say that the Aeronautics industry is in far better shape than the Software industry, a failure in one of their systems results in people dying but I can go to any major tech companies websites and experience a bug on any given day.
