There are still a lot of SWE jobs which aren't filled. They just don't pay as well as the many eliminated jobs from the news.

But, they often still pay far better than just about any other career you can do.

I'm a fairly unremarkable developer who works for a no-name tech company, but still make twice as much as my friends my age who are in law or accounting, even finance.

Only ones who even come close are in non-white collar jobs with unions and access to lots of overtime hours that they pick up. Their base pay isn't even close.

Yep, that's completely true.

Yep.

Yep. I would say that SWEs have even better working conditions than any union I have heard of.
