I'm just a lowly equipment technician (AZ) and have accumulated a 7 figure net worth through aggressive investing over the last decade+. I definitely make more as a senior MTE at Intel than I would doing the same job at most, if not all, other employers.

I don't feel poor.

I went on a public art photography expedition today in the big city downtown near my Intel site today. I saw some truly poor people. If they had $1500 they certainly wouldn’t blow it on the camera gear I had in my hand that’s for sure though one guy smelled like he spent that bank on weed…. Anyway we Intel folk are not poor. We might not be the richest of techies but we’re not poor

Actually they are smart. I literally saw them bragging about getting steady paychecks with very little to do. Its the US govt thats d-mb who has failed to contain a company that is a free immigration service masquerading as a tech company. More employees than all their rivals combined yet failing miserably.

Actually they are smart...getting paid consistently over time by staying. Think compounding and beating/keeping up with inflation.

They’re stupid. They’re losers. They’re has-beens. Hangers-on to cash flows from someone else’s innovation. There’s a reason no one in the job market is interested in Intel trash.
