As an independent contractor, in the right market, you will in a lot of cases make way more than any level remotely close to yours.

If you are a scarce resource and gives immense value, then you can easily earn more than the managers close to you. And as I said several levels above them.

In a lot of cases managers are more easily replaceable than good individual contributors.
