Even at traditional companies software engineering salaries are not particularly high.
That's why most CS students choose to go towards consultancy job, and never write a line of code in the rest of their careers. (Those who want to do engineering choose hardware, which is much more respected and better paid.)
As a result, most software startups are started by MBA's and rarely by engineers, which perpetuates the circle of undervaluing software engineering skills.
