Are you seeing any evidence of that?
If anything, I'm seeing the opposite: non-"elite" tech pay is increasing to rival "elite" tech pay (since that's the only way you can hire a decent engineer in any of the major tech hubs in the US).

I'm seeing the same in the Central Florida area. Postings open for months, the pay scale slowly increasing at the same time. I've even worked with recruiters to help drag those salaries up, explaining how to go back to their clients and explain their expectations are unrealistic. A rising tide lifts all boats.

I work for a non-Amazon FAANG and I'll be surprised if a company was willing to match almost $300k of unvested stock (after 1 review cycle & 1 year of vesting), a healthy salary on top of my existing one, and comparable annual refresh grants - only companies I see really doing so would be another FAANG and VC firms.
