What does administration mean there? Like accounting, human resources and so? How could they make, in average, way more that developers??

    I'd think it's marketing teams, HR, managers, the C-suite.

    Those who manage people usually make more than those who dos tuff because they take on more responsibilities.

    Yeah I know that's bullshit and that they shift responsibilities all the time, but good managers do shoulder bullshit so workers can work.

    I mean yeah and no. I manage a team, I make 10%-12% more than the team even though technically we do the same tasks. The difference is I need to know their job, but also manage a schedule, and allocate resources, while planning sales for the future stream so they don't run out of work. It's a different skillset on top of the team skill requirement.

    Not justifying a C suite at 20 million over dudes making 60k though
