High earners don’t typically get most of their employment income from salary. Did you not know this? Don’t want to distract from whatever point you were making but your choice of words left me with no choice.
Gee, way to change the subject there, genius. The reason I’m using the word “salary” is that the lucrative contracts that I had before are no longer available to me, so I had to take a salaried position. But you don’t care about American engineers, do you? The other reason I used the word “salary” is so that more readers would understand what I’m talking about. Not everyone is a H1B snowflake like you.
By the way, snowflake, if you’re going to say that the highest earners are business owners, well, I got priced out of that, too. But I’m sure you care only about foreign engineers, so don’t worry about it.
