People's motivations for staying at a company are pretty varied. That said, without attempting to ascribe anything to the people at LivingSocial, one thing I have noticed is that a large number - if not most - talented devs are also really shit at interviewing and negotiation. Myself and some others I know enjoy interviewing and are at least half-okay at negotiation, so we're very confident on the job market. I have met many developers who can code circles around me for whom interviewing carries a lot of dread, and they won't do it unless they feel they really need to.
