Mid/high six-figures (sometimes low seven ones as well).

  Not that i disagree with your argument, but given the very competitive nature of corporate culture and the high rate of burnout, most people may feel better working for lower pay for less-sociopathic organizations (say, local non-profits or public IT services). Also, i find it interesting to note how tech salaries have climbed in the past two decades, precisely as IT was more and more employed as a means of ruining peoples' lives (micro-management based on metrics, surveillance industry, IoT and other scams, centralized monopolies like Amazon, etc). The price of keeping IT people complicit/quiet in the scheme has risen, but we as a privileged class of IT people should understand that we're precisely being paid for silence about the atrocities we help build. We are collaborators to an oppressive system, and if that's something that bothers you maybe you should consider alternatives.

  "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Believer or not, there's a lot of wisdom in the Bible.

    Yes, there is. Including John 8:7
