Exactly - like the OP you replied to - Slope are trying to hire a Head of engineering for a salary that competent mid/senior level engineers should be easily getting. It's no tech industry, and the work is less fun
I'm one of those that switched from tech into an industry that is steeped in bureaucracy, secrecy, red-tape, and whatever other term you can find. It's been about 10 years, but I occasionally lurk on HN to see people in tech are up to.
For several reasons, but basically I was burned out, and wanted a new challenge. Working in biotech manufacturing was also a way to make something that helps people.
