It doesn't really seem like a "hustle" thing. You have the choice in working one of two quite similar jobs, in quite similar fields, but one of the jobs pays far more.
You also may have a friend who's already made the move telling you to join.

My issue with this take is that it’s also quite likely that the jobs are completely dissimilar. How long do you think it would take a front-end SWE to develop a 480kV electrical grid or vice versa? Both domains require specific skills and should be respected as such
Sure, because there is large variance in engineering. Not just EE, either. If your an ME you might design HVAC but it doesn’t mean you can take an ME’s role designing CFD models in aerospace applications. Pretending jobs are interchangeable is a disservice to the skillsets
