> Software pays better, which is why so many hardware people switched

Something I noticed years ago browsing jobs in random large companies:

hardware or anything close to hardware (firmware, driver dev, etc.) was all outsourced. Every single job I saw in that domain was in India or China/Taiwan.

High level software jobs (e.g. node.js developer to develop the web front end for some hardware device) were still in the US.

I’ve wondered if thats impacted why so many hardware people ran off to software.
