Eh. A lot of engineers really don't have the social skills to navigate the business situations. Some do, sure, and should be given the opportunity to shine. But I would still say the majority don't.

And what kind of "high level physics" do engineers know? A typical masters track doesn't cover the hard maths like in GR, sounds more arrogant than anything... kind of proving my point ;)



Doesn't this basically argue that "business" is basically the same thing as schmoozing?


You could argue that people are a more complicated system than any software system you would see in a talented shop, and people change in real time.


tbf doing things like GR or QFT is not even required for a graduate degree in physics depending on your field of research
