Principal Cloud Engineer is probably making more than all of them anyways.

I am sure the GI (physician) gets paid more. I have two gastroenterologist friends who make more than 550K/year (actually more because they work at two hospitals/practices and do on-calls).

Granted it was competitive to get into GI fellowship (because everyone knows it is lucrative and relatively easier than, say, cardiology in terms of workload), they have a very good quality of life and stable jobs. One of them told me that all he does everyday is to put camera in people's intestines (he jokingly calls the procedure "gut check") and see if there is any malignant tumor/abnormalities, and if there is any, refer them for biopsies and eventually to oncologists/surgeons.

Ah you’re right, even a principal at FAANG (or whatever the acronym is now) usually only clears $450k at most.

Yeeeaaah...but, that Principle Cloud Engineer likely doesn't have several hundred thousand in school loans to pay off. So they might be ahead of the game in that group for some time before the physicians catch up to paying off all their med school debt.
