I can guarantee people at my company and level make 3-4x more than me. Push into the next level and you have quite a few $1M+ TC

If "quite a few" non-directors make more than average American cardiologists either:

A) your company is engaged in disturbing monopolism; B) your company is engaged in disturbing labor exploitation and arbitrage; or C) your company is engaged in disturbing environmental destruction.

Would love to be proven wrong. Am I?

Edit: option D) is that American cardiologists are not as exclusive and skilled a labor force as I would prefer to believe ;)

Your whole mental model of how businesses make profit is based on a comparison to cardiologists?

People are paid to create value. If they work at a company that reaches a billion people, then writing some software that adds $0.1 revenue per user per year is worth a lot.
