Tech salaries are a direct result of basic supply/demand. The available supply of workers and the demand for a job are, to a certain extent, independent from how "vital and stressful" the job is.

The only bubble that might pop is an America first hiring mindset which constricts the supply. If this were to change I would expect tech salaries in America to go lower. Then again, this is not that hard to do, most large tech companies already have major offshore dev teams. There are clearly reasons why companies don't move more of their spend offshore.




I don't mean bubble as in pop. I mean bubble as in disconnected and floating in their own world.
