        Who do you think is “biting their nails all day?” Like, which positions specifically.

        Also game devs work in offices (or at home offices)

      If I follow your search terms, the first Google result is this. If the data were to be trusted, then most of the employees are absolutely paid much less than the “top positions”.

        Yeah if you don’t work in CS you’re making at or near 100k and the math holds.

        Compare the salary ranges with # of employees per role.
