>> But despite all that, I’m still having a blast

This is proves its mostly over for the high income industry.

There are no good paying jobs where you are having a blast. Otherwise there is a lot of those who want to do that job which drives wages waay down.

High paying jobs are tough/stressful/not fun. Which was the case with software before.

What if I'm having a blast doing the tasks no one wants to do that are in the backlog.

Maybe you're incredibly lucky? But I wouldn't count on that luck lasting.

Bullshit. There are some dysfunctional exceptions, but higher pay usually correlates with more freedom, more responsibility and access to more resources. You may get frustrated in Big Tech, because nowadays, people like to have no bounds in their expectations, but try changing your big tech job for a job in the oil or insurance industry with half the pay, and you'll see that most of the time, you not getting a blast out of your 600k job is mostly your fault.
