Are there different compensation tiers for Control Engineers like there is in Software?
So I was reading a post about how tech compensation has different "tiers", where similar roles can have wildly different compensation depending on the company type. E.g.: a SWE will make more at a hedge fund than at FAANG, and more at a FAANG than at a traditional company.
Is this also true for Controls/GNC? I've always had the impression that basically all companies have broadly the same pay ranges, with bigger companies paying at most 10-20% more for similar positions, with most of the compensation difference coming from experience.
