Are most OE in Software/IT?

Context: I run a small manufacturing business so pretty much all of my employees are in-person. I visit this sub from time to time because it seems like another world, so I’m mostly asking this to satisfy my own curiosity.

I can’t really fathom being able to be effective enough to hold multiple jobs that make six figs (except for software/IT roles, hence the framing)!

I can imagine marketing and other “people person” jobs with low “on” hours working logistically, but the social/reputational aspect of those makes me think they’re not a good fit for OE.

What’s the consensus here?
