I'm not sure I agree with that - good engineers should be experts at managing risk. True risk aversion is an impediment in most fields that engineers are called to solve problems in.

That said, we're also pretty analytical, and when one could warm a seat in FAANG for ~$400k/year, even many successful startups weren't outperforming that TC.

People generally don’t look at risk for work projects than same as risk to their personal life.

All I’m saying is engineers tend to like certainty and predictability in their personal life.

Thank goodness.
