Would a DevOps engineer make as much as an SWE in the long run?

Many DevOps engineers start as cloud engineers, SREs, or SWEs, and many DevOps engineers move to SREs or SWEs.<br><br>I don't want to be junior engineer forever, but I want to make the same money as a senior engineer. I know DevOps engineers are paid just as much as SWEs and SREs. I don't understand why theres such a hype for SWEs.
