I think it's pretty funny when libertarians or conservatives all of a sudden start sounding like Marxists and claiming that of course workers (engineers) should be entitled to part of the value they produce, when it's their own salary they're talking about.

$400k is also way way more than any engineer will earn in most countries except USA, and maybe it's exceptional in most US states too? For context, it's about twice what the Swedish prime minister makes, and $70k per year is considered a high salary for senior developers in Stockholm.

I live in the US and I'm not making anywhere near $400k. What I'm making is above average for my region, also. I haven't gotten a recruiter from this area (that shared their range) get anywhere close with the top end of their range when they've pinged me since I've gotten this job.
