I guess this has something to do with a lot of manufacturing having moved to Asia.
Here in Germany it is flipped arround. As a software developer in Berlin I can only dream about the salaries I could get as mechanical / electrical engineer in South Germany at one of the big car manufacturers.

The midwest is still full of manufacturing though, and they still hire engineers (but they're going to make $100,000+, not $300,000+ like software devs in CA).
- Apocryphon 4y agoPerhaps those manufacturing jobs could pay closer to software if the employers were willing to give more equity.
- antoniuschan99 4y agoThat Manufacturing is more light and heavy industries though? Like Automotive and the like? When I mean hardware I mean Electronics and PCB - like Apple or Internet Connected Electronics.
- t-3 4y agoThere are lots and lots of electronics in automobiles, industrial machinery, and robots. They need engineers of all kinds to design products, processes, equipment, etc.
