This is correct. I've worked in industry for about 3 years, much in a top industry lab that built a product you probably use. I've got a couple papers, including a really good one. I've worked as a software engineer. I hopped jobs twice in a relatively short frame, with a 20% and 40% raise each time. The market is on fire if you have software engineering competence and real industrial experience.
