Now, is that DevOps engineer worth that much more than the warehouse guy who picks the item to send to you?

This is going to make me sound like a prick, but yeah the DevOps guy is worth more than the warehouse guy, maybe not 500k more but still alot more.

It all comes down to how many package deliveries 1 warehouse guy can facilitate vs 1 DevOps guy. Speaking as someone who worked at a warehouse (package distribution fedex) for a short period of time, moving boxes is nowhere near as valuable.

Not to say it's not crucial, but the ratio of engineers:package handlers needed is really high
