Are software Eng salaries plateauing?
Software Eng salaries have sky rocketed in the past 10 years. I remember when people were drooling over $120k for a mid level Engineer. However, it seems like we have started to plateau in the past 2 to 3 years. I don't know of any companies that have increased their TC ceiling for software engineers. I'm basing this hypothesis on the numbers I've been seeing on Blind and on levels.fyi Are you guys seeing this also? Please share your thoughts.

Likely the explosive growth is over for now. I donโt see a decline coming yet. It all will depend on the economy and how much money the tech sector can make
Don't be greedy! Most of software engineers get paid more than US Senator.
That's extremely small minded thinking. My greed has nothing to do with it. My pay is determined by market forces, not my greed
Youโre naive if you think senators make their money off of the government paycheck. Thatโs like only looking at our base salary and ignoring the equity and bonus.
