Basically what I wanted to say. There is definitely a bubble in tech salaries, people are getting paid salaries that in comparison to other fields have no relation to the aptitude, education, and personal sacrifice needed to do the work.
Will the bubble pop? I don't know. I thought it would pop long ago, but the flow of VC money into tech firms doesn't seem to be abating, and the consumer appetite for the dreck created by the FAANG companies is likewise.

None of these things matter. It's supply and demand, simple as that. And value created. Instagram had millions of users and 14 employees.
