It's not a zero sum game. All the enterprise companies hiring 3,000 engineers only need a tiny fraction of their software to run their core businesses, and most of it is legacy. When a tech recession hits and clears out the clown car, everyone stops paying for software. You might be working on a team of 3 experts instead of 30 morons, but you'll work twice as hard for half the pay, with the same dickhead managers that treat you as replaceable cog, except this time they'll be right. If I were you I'd stick with the easy money where you get to look like a genius for being able to write basic simple code.
