Is that really a surprise though? This is going to be the experience at 100% of companies where tech is an operating expense, not a money maker.

Flipping things around, do you think a Pulitzer prize winning NYT editor would get the salary and respect they expect if they take up a job at a tech company writing marketing copy for their website?

Probably not the level of respect and deference they are accustomed to, but potentially higher pay?
