Engineers are so highly underpaid for the value they contribute to these companies. What's the average salary, $140k? It should be $300k, half a million total comp conservatively. Even at that amount, employers would still be getting a 50-75% margin on you. It's insane how much we are ripped off. Good eningeers can literally make or save companies 10s of millions a year, but are never compensated for it.

Make your own company if it's that easy to literally make or save 10s of millions a year, that way you can set the amount of own compensation.

I am sure it depends on the engineer. Plenty of crap ones there that's work needs rewritten once they have left.
