> Try many finance jobs and big law, also medicine in certain specializations. They all pay much better than 95% of all software engineering jobs.

But the stress levels and amount of hours you have to put in for both finance and law are exponentially higher than being a SWE. I honestly can't remember the last time I had to work 60-70 hour weeks, non-stop for months on end as a developer. The amount of stress in those industries also pales in comparison to the stress of being a SWE.
