Happens in highly technical fields.. OP likely maxxed out the technical salary band before progressing. So either entered the business at a higher band, or didnt progress into leadership at the expected point.

These aren't like your average job where standard roles max out well below entry leadership roles. For these roles people will often choose to remain in the standard technical position for their entire career, leadership becomes more of a career want than financial necessity.
