People had this grand idea of software engineering and how much complex it is and problem solving and this and that and you actually deserve 250k to do your “complex” job.
In reality many of them have not needed to look at a data structure or do any real computer science for years. They were just attending bullshit meetings and approving some pr with some basic sql query or some new react code.
Common people knew very little about computers and so they thought they were running on magic and that the software engineers were the magicians.
