Brain surgeons gets sued and you get a public paper trail when they do a bad job. Also they often have a lot of data of all their performed surgeries they can refer to. Software engineers however fails silently and nobody will know. Lawyers, the other big profession that are paid a lot, also have a lot of data they can go by to prove that they deliver value.

Can you give a single profession that pays $200k+, isn't a manger job, doesn't have easily tracked metrics like doctor/lawyer, and doesn't have tests like the algorithm interview?
