The only-tech companies make money on the tech services they provide. This is an asset.

The non-tech. Companies make money on things not directly related to tech work. This makes tech workers a liability.

When budgets fail, liabilities are first to go.

These are two different worlds. Tech people are treated as either an asset or libality. Environments often follow this demarcation.

One of them can be prone to toxicity.

Tech companies are more of a true engineering culture.

Under the right conditions either can be excellent places to work.

I prefer tech companies.
