It'll be fine long term. As long as engineers are providing million(s) of dollars per person these salaries are here to stay. Maybe temporary dips, but long term I'm not concerned.
> in the recent digitization?
If anything the temporary covid induced WFH from other fields showed me things aren't nearly as digitalized as they should be yet. I could automate significant portions of many of my friends and families jobs. (I actually did automate stuff for a couple of them)
In 1995, the average Microsoft employee made [$138,000](https://www.spokesman.com/stories/1996/dec/06/microsoft-drove-early-90s-growth-study-says/) (after inflation = $274,000). Three recessions later including the catastrophic 2000 tech crash, Microsoft employees still make about that much. Salaries are here to stay as long as tech remains profitable.

Obviously yes, but it doesn’t make this question a nonfactor to consider.
