Frankly this sounds like a total disaster of a company. I don’t want to work with mediocre people who end up stuck in jobs they hate. Real talent does give people leverage. What you’re describing is not talent - it’s dubious/ exploitative/desperate management practices combined with a funnel of people who don’t know better. Literally no genuinely talented engineer would stay in a job like the one you describe - it just wouldn’t make sense. Skills especially are very fungible. I can apply to work at Google tomorrow without knowing their tech stack at all, get an offer, and pull down $500k+ a year. Does your company’s ARR even touch $50m?
