      Let's be real, software engineer salaries are likely to decrease significantly in the future as everyone and their mom wants to become a software engineer. Too many people coming out of bootcamps, layoffs, threat of AI etc is not making the long term outlook look good for future software engineers. I think mechanical engineer salaries are likely to stay similar (in line with inflation) in the future and software engineer and mechanical engineer salaries should likely be the same so just choose what you enjoy more I guess.

As far as I know, you can opt out of anything that isn't State or Federally mandated as deduction from income. Right now, you'd probably better off taking that 401k deduction and just buying physical gold with it, storing it in something you can touch with your own hands and no middle person can steal away.
