>getting way too much money compared to the rest of society
Personally I feel that the "rest of society" is getting way too little money vs. us getting way too much (opinion based on the fact that profits/productivity have outgrown salaries for too long).

- Firmwarrior 3y agoYeah, man, I've been trying to tell people this for a while. Programming isn't overpaid; it's just the one field where market forces actually work to provide a livable wage that grows with inflation. When I was working at a non-FAANG for normal pay, I was basically living the exact same lifestyle as my dockworker grandfather. I could afford a house and car, wife didn't have to work, one vacation per year, moderate savings.
