>> "They're being paid huge sums..."

Everyone who works in finance just lol'd.

But seriously, relative to the value a good hacker adds to the business, "huge sums" is probably not an accurate characterization of engineer comp.

Huge sums in relation to the average American worker. I'm being paid below average for a programmer of my caliber, but it still feels like a ton of money because I grew up in humble circumstances.
