I don’t see software engineers suffering. Starting salary in FAANG conpanies is $120K to $250K. That’s better than doctors when you factor in years of education.

Perhaps, but outside of the FAANG bubble, income levels have been stagnating for quite some time (if you adjust for inflation)

Salary is not enough to determine quality of life, a faang salary in the Bay Area doesn’t get you very far as an individual and for families it’s often not enough.
