No. FAANG and their wannabe competitors started paying more over the past 15 years. But all other tech jobs have been stagnant that’s correct. It’s because companies view engineers as code monkeys. And they’re right for the most part because that’s how our profession behaves. Unfortunately you take a group of smart (sort of) people with below average social skills, and they WILL get exploited to the max.
Even FAANG underpays by a factor of 2-3x.

Yep, the average engineer including the mediocre ones are often leagues above your average white collar worker in terms of hard skill, but sorely lack (collective) social skills.
