hmmm... nope, I don't think so cause we're not doing physical labour, we are using our brain.

Which comes with its own set of problems like mental health issues, burnout and probably repetitive strain injury.

In my country, we don't really rake in that amount of salary and being in an Asian country.

Being in tech is not a career to aspire for in terms of big money & prestige compared to being doctors, lawyers, accountants or bankers or civil servant by our parents.
