Engineer salaries are not "extremely high". Compared to cost-of-living, they're more than adequate and on the high side by historical standards, but not "extremely high". In fact, most engineers make less than all those supernumerary non-technical VPs and product managers for nonexistent products that plague VC-funded companies. "Extremely" high starts around $350k per year for a mid-career (10 years) engineer and things aren't at that point right now.
