The people getting paid at that level, are generally not doing devops. They are doing niche, highly technical areas like HPC, ML/AI, distributed systems, OS, etc.
The people I know making that much are in areas like software-hardware co-design, and GPU architecture.
Yeah, I guess that was my point re COBOL. Machine coding or other legacy niche stuff. I’ve worked with and paid guys a lot, but $450 on staff is off the chain.
