My boss at my previous job made $40 million a year, and he was literally single-handedly tanking the company. He got fired and so he went to work for Sundar Pichai at Google ... making even more.

People who are on the low rungs of the ladder assume that the people way above them must have been intelligent to get up there. It's not always a great assumption.

Maybe. I know why I am not pursuing any non-IC role these days, which seems to be THE way to ridiculous compensation packages. I am not willing to put up with the stresses involved if I am to do it well. And that is before you get to dealing with the backstabbers, yes-men and obligatory birthdays. It gets old fast.
