> Only 56.7% of these people joined a tech company.

There’s a very good chance that their new jobs are similar to their former jobs.

Unfortunately, the term “tech” has become diluted to the point of worthlessness. Every company of any size needs programming, statistics, and such.

Conversely many companies swept under the “tech” term don’t develop any technology at all.

It’s so bad that actual technology development is now referred to as “deep tech”.
