Salary inequality between industries these days is amazing and is probably one of the most under covered topics. There are kids a few years out of college making $125-150k while middle managers with master's in their 40s are making barely more than that. And in tech the wunderkinds can be making close to a million while still in their 20s. Neighbor's kid is one of those, parents are shocked he's pulling in 800k total compensation and he's only 27. Kid does work 65 hour weeks at a startup. Which is substantially more than even cliched I-bankers of the late 1990s-2000s era when most of us came of age.

If he had been in my age cohort he would have been lucky to get a job at NASA or Raytheon or something like that and would be making like mid-6 figures. But he came of age when Space X was around and now he's a multimillionaire and is even getting married and might have children someday.
