Well, considering what Apple, Google, Intel, and other major tech firms did in colluding to not compete in hiring, this affected wages in the entire tech industry. So, one could make the argument that yes, working in tech is paying lower than what it's actually worth.

Are we being paid low? No.

Are we being paid lower than what we should be paid? I could see that argument being made.

All of the major tech firms could also just hire more aggressively in their overseas branches if the cost in hiring in US becomes too high. You’ll face globalization one way or another

As a tech worker I always feel super grateful that the job I like is also lucrative. There’s no end to greed.

Is it possible that we may get paid higher? Maybe

Do we deserve to get paid much higher than those equally talented people working elsewhere in the world? Or those who are super smart and hard working but not making much money just because they don’t work in tech? I don’t think so
