I meant highest-earning as companies, not engineers, but I guess that also applies. To a lot of people, earning more money is a &quot;high-score&quot;. They don&#x27;t care that they never get a chance to spend it.<p>I&#x27;m also not saying I agree with this mindset. I&#x27;m just answering your question: 
&gt; What is it with Silicon Valley that always ends up in &quot;you spend all your life at work and it&#x27;s a good thing&quot; ?
