Don’t prod engineers make more (same as SWE?)

Production engineering is a lot of fire drills and long hours. Not worth the money unless you just love fixing prod issues for whatever reason. There’s not a lot of room for growth. FB might be different though.

There is plenty of growth in PE. You must love to fix issues for no reason whatsoever though.
