Comment on Ask HN: Which role in software engineering is the best for average person?parent

Comments

So it likes transition into a business roles or try to be CEO.

My question, is there no way to be eternally stuck as "senior/staff engineer". I do not want anything beyond that. The salary of an average senior/staff engineer is always greater than median salary of the country.

That should solve all the living expenses.

You can if course stay at that level forever.

Living expenses may or may not be constant. If you have a family expect them to increase alot while having less time to keep up with tech.

Oh no, I thought the salary would be adjusted for inflation. Are there no social safety nets? This is really sad to know that salary isn't adjusted for living expenses!
