And yet they underpay and also use their lobbying muscle/money to change laws to keep engineering pay down.
Note the sheer desperation to keep the pay secret so it doesn't turn into an auction for scarce resources for engineering talent the way it does with lawyers, bankers, MBA's. If you're in it fore the money don't work for facebrick.
