I'd dispute the "easily" here. IME, it's extremely hard to get senior engineers to relocate -- many of them have families, deep ties to their locations, and are way to accustomed to their way and quality of life to consider moving.
- humanrebar 10y agoI didn't say you could get any particular engineer to relocate with only a good comp package. The point is that you could get enough to fill empty positions purely by investing more in employees. Salaries are a simple conversation point, but we could also talk about remote work, retraining, opening sites in more affordable areas, etc. I also listed many specific benefits (housing, child care) that would make a relocation zero hassle for a senior engineer.
