I just provided anecdata of a family that has both Amazon and Google incomes, where, without revealing details about our incomes or levels, I claimed that Amazon pay one spouse receives is very competitive from what the other is receiving from Google (clouded by the different roles, SWE vs. UXD, a SWE at Amazon would probably make more than a UXD but I have no evidence that is true).

Salary ranges are quite broad, there is of course some overlap especially at the middle of the ladder

Lol, give up already. No shit SWE makes significantly more than UXD.

Ya, you don't know the industry then. SWEs often make more than UXDs. It is the difference between getting into computer science and going to art school (admittedly, the latter can also be very competitive).
You need better reading comprehension
Better punctuation wouldn't have gone amiss either.
> No shit SWE makes significantly more than UXD.

Ah, I guess you were claiming that I was a shit SWE out of left field (because I'm just comparing myself to my wife)? I don't really get your context, you are going need to spell it out for me.

No shit, SWE makes significantly more than UXD. As in obviously SWE makes significantly more than UXD. Dropped a comma.
