“To get a base salary of $170k you know you need to work hard as an Engineer, this sucks.”
As someone who has worked as a UPS driver and now as a software developer, I can say that the UPS drivers definitely work harder than your average engineer.
That quote is also deftly ignoring the fact that you’re generally paid for the value you generate, not how hard to you work.

Generally you’re paid the least they can get away with (with some variance in what they think that is).
It generally requires a union to get paid closer to the value you generate.
