I&#x27;m pretty sure there are more distinguished engineers and other senior engineering roles paying $750&#x2F;year in total comp at Google&#x2F;Microsoft&#x2F;Apple etc. than there are neurosurgeons.<p>Not to mention tens of thousands of average developers that got lucky with stock options and became millionaires where a doctor of same age is still slaving away as a resident with 24-hour shifts and abysmal pay ($50-$60k year for surgical residents, according to google).<p>The market (not society) is treating us developers pretty well.
