> If an experienced engineer can make over $500K/yr plus benefits working 40 hours a week at a large company, there should be an opportunity to spend a few extra hours on a side gig to increase that number by a few percent.
If a $500k is still not enough for someone's annual salary, then maybe they should be seeking out something more important than a side gig.
