I am in the same camp. I also don’t think it is bad in compensation terms because lots of this maintenance work is often called devops and devops is well paid from my point of view. I do the logistics for embedded or SaaS. It has been good and it is often cool to login to devices that are seen as a black box by any other person in the world. I also know that when something is on fire the maintenance guy is the one being begged by the sales guys and higher management. Maintenance people end up being debugging gods.
