Look at ANY job description for marketing within a tech company

Tech salaries are substantially down the last 2-3 years, as is hiring in marketing within tech. I’d say still higher, but much more comparable than 5-7 years ago.

I agree here.
When I was a CD at a tech company back in 2016? my starting salary as a first time CD was $175 (Chicago), when I went back to an agency 3 years later I took a massive pay cut.
