Really? In my experience in the UK it pays ~20% better. We're talking about silicon hardware design. Not PCBs.

Exactly money is problem. I am by trade hardware designer. I have no problem to sit down, create PCB in KiCAD and have it made perfect on first try. But I am doing this just as a hobby because it does not pay much. SWE just pays better even with the AI scarecrow behind it.
