I’m a software engineer with 8 years in the industry, currently at an R&D lab as a staff software engineer. My wife’s an accountant. Across every job I’ve ever had — and every job she’s had — there’s a pattern that’s so consistent it’s starting to feel like we’re losing our minds:We are constantly overworked and relatively underpaid… while the majority of our peers are chronically under-worked and wildly overpaid.
