how is possible that a driver makes much more than average Engineer in R&D?

They don’t…and if you aren’t in that range with 2-5 years of experience, you should be exploring opportunities.

The other thing, it looks like their TOC is 170k, not their base pay. So that includes their health, time off, retirement, etc…

Any halfway competent engineer should be making that TOC.

Finally…good for them. If you’re bitching about them making too much, I’m pretty sure they’re hiring.
