My view on it used to be that if you compare apples to apples on level of "effort," skill, qualification, etc, yes they do on average. But there have been some cases of crazy tech comp due to RSU appreciation that I'm not sure how to factor in yet.

Leadership yes, because leaders who manage others tend to be higher level than technical people who are more likely to be individual contributors. Functional individual contributors, probably not. I've heard that non-technical people get paid 1 level below that of technical people.

Which function in tech has the best earning and impactful work?

Planning to exit to tech, and I know product managers probably make the most $ but I find their jobs seem to be too much in the weeds. Can be demotivated especially when you just start and work on product with small scale and niche audience. Am I wrong here?

What are some other functions to consider with good $ and impact?
- Strategy & Operations
- Product marketing
- Business development?
