In my experience its this. Rarely do the everyday devs get pay. Keep in mind wars are always going on around the world. There is always plenty of opportunities but I bet you havenβt seen any major bonuses OP?
No. While in tech developers are valuable resources that drive free cash flow plus market capitalization, in defense theyβre a cost center. Compensation follows accordingly.
OP could probably quadruple their compensation by moving to tech.
Itβs unfortunate because the actual tech worked on the majority of cases is a quantum leap level more complex and interesting than making dog sitting aps or social media advertising machines.
