Doesn't really matter. There's a kajillion games made in both.
Unity is used by smaller indies and mobile devs. Unity is not conducive to large projects for reasons. Unity programming largely means C#.
Unreal has minimal use on mobile and is mostly used by larger teams. It's popularity over custom engines is increasing. Programming in Unreal largely means C++.
Of course backends could be anything. The above refers to game clients.
Games don't pay as well as big tech for damn sure. But companies like Riot Games pay decent. Big AAAA games that make lots of money know they compete with the broader tech industry for talent. Senior positions will pay north of $200,000. It's not all starving artist land. But big tech would pay 2x to 3x.
