Higher paying roles seem real unstable right now. Engineering firms are being burnt down by PE and the stable trading is ferocious. I haven’t seen a quality product put out in a decade….its just not the focus of any org I’ve worked with. Anyone else seeing this?

My relative who just retired as the head engineer/chemist of a petrochemical company left in the middle of their highest sales/profit year they've had by a huge margin. They offered obscene bonuses to stay on. I got to hear a lot about GE engineers when I went to the retirement party (that shit company is still in business?). Apparently they hire swarms of engineers, especially h1bs, that suck ass and stumble over each other. His company had precisely two.

In their line of work, if you mess up its lawsuit city. Good engineers get to keep their job.
