There are extraordinarily highly paying semi firms in the US, but neither Intel nor AMD fit that mould unfortunately.

I’ve never understood why that’s the case; they are also high leverage jobs where a few can do extraordinary work and be rewarded thus. Look at Nvidia. Their employees are well compensated and they stay and the company does fantastically.

Who pays more than Intel?

In this context, semiconductor jobs is referring to people actually involved with developing the fab - so Nvidia/Apple/AMD don't count.
