The tech industry offers some of the highest-paying opportunities in the country. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in US, the median annual wage for a worker in high-tech industries (sectors with high concentrations of workers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics occupations) is about $70,230. The median annual wage for workers outside of tech is closer to $34,800. Where as in Bangladesh, Generaly annual wage for a worker in high-tech industries is about $35,000 and for workers outside of tech is closer to $17,000.
