If your main value-add was a bridge between sales and engineering, then you didn't add much value and I guess I'm glad that is going away. I never viewed PM as that. I always thought it was a person who understood how the tech wor

of course no one needs $1M salary, but is it morally right to prevent or harm people who want to hustle and earn $1M+ a year? Ambition and competitive spirit are double edged swords. We should be prudent before trying to social engineer the

That is true. But would you also agree that it will be endemic longer if we put false hope in solutions that aren't going to fully work? We need to be honest with ourselves, and be open ideas like therapeutics or UV lights in public
