Business Insider did some research on the 20 highest paying jobs at Google. I guess it isn't surprising that the list is dominated by engineers given that Google is a tech company. What may be a little surprising, especially for MBA students, is how few (and how relatively low paying) business-related jobs are on the list.
This matches a presentation given to Columbia Business School EMBAs last year by Sachin Kamdar, CEO of the tech startup Parse.ly, where he presented a list of tricks and traps for entrepreneurs. In it, he said one of the traps of starting a tech company was to find a "tech co-founder" and instead you have to "be a tech co-founder" (trick #5).
In order to be successful, just having a business background isn't enough, you better be able to speak the tech language too.
