Not necessarily. The US is a gathering place for top talent, and that's not necessarily because of the talent that was born here.
> American engineers who made that possible only got a 20% raise in that time
No. The starting pay has gone up 20%, adjusted for inflation. That's not the same as raises over the lifetime of a single engineer.
- supersync 5y agoThe contribution of engineers to capital creation massively exceeds 20% over the past 30 years. Relative pay increase is such a scam. Having seen it up close, the even greater issue for society is this program & how it’s used has created an engineering culture of order takers. That’s the least valuable configuration of engineering teams.
