I looked at Cisco's salaries here: https://www.levels.fyi/company/Cisco/salaries/Software-Engineer/ https://www.levels.fyi/company/Cisco/salaries/Software-Engin... For Cisco's Principal Engineer position, which seems super high up relative to other titles at other tech firms, the pay is actually quite low for what that position's requirements seem to be. I wonder how this dynamic played out. Disgusting anyway you look at it but the nuance of corporate structure here is worth thinking about.
