I’ve encountered a bunch of people with that sort of background working that kind of job, it’s a real thing.

I don’t know why this is hard to believe. Not everyone wants to “grind leetcode” 24/7.

Yeah, I know someone who works at GE (in more traditional engineering). They have masters degrees and when I compare my salary or even someone starting out at a FAANG or Web 2.0/3.0 SWE with theirs, I'm genuinely surprised.

They also tend to not be aware of the salary ranges out there and I think these traditional companies are exploiting them because most of the engineers really respect the companies and what they stand (or at least stood) for.
