I suspect that software engineers, as broad as that term encompasses, will eventually see the effects of pay and work which up to now they've been largely insulated from. More work being handed off to you for a minimal or nonexistent pay bumb. Or slower wage growth than we've been accustomed to seeing. That's my prediction anyways.

My other point is that, based upon the revenue and profit generated per employee for many of these mega corporations, software engineers should be paid more, but I think lately we have astronomical pay relative to other industries in the 3-10 year experience mark for most of the roles in the labor market.
