Another opinion than the others: I'm french and in my country, the position of software engineer or developper or any technical position in the making of a software product / services is still a relatively new job.

I am working in a startup and until now we had more non-technical employees (it changed after a big pivot and big layoff).

We were the one making the product but every other positions did not have any considerations for us except treating us like weird wizards accepting any requests.

As their understanding were limited, they usually had more respect for other job like finance, or sales, without regards for the actual responsabilities of the employees.

There is a strange cultural bias that do not recognise the capabilities of a software engineer as more complex than the work of a young salesman.
