"My self worth is not a function of or correlated with my total compensation. Capitalism is a poor way to determine self-worth."
This is gold. I think the whole industry is failing to value an engineer. For 5+ yoe, I think performance is a function of eagerness to code and innate intelligence. Yet the industry is paying engineers largely on function of yoe
Is this true though? I think engineering salaries very definitely plateau at a certain point, much more so compared to other professions even
