???? I would imagine the average surgeon is much happier with their compensation than the average DoorDasher. It's a reliable fixed-rate salary vs wondering if you'll get enough $3 tips to make rent this month.
Yes. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I don't think doctors are overpaid. The amount of time and effort they invest in undergrad, sometimes additional college after that, medical school, residency, and sometimes a fellowship is more than I've ever been willing to put into my career.
I can assure you that regeneron pays very well, including significant equity and has absolutely fantastic benefits. Software developers probably get more at door dash (it isn't bad by any means, but they aren't "the talent" at regeneron after all), but folks involved in the science and trials are doing very well.
