If I offer a 50%-75% raise for a role, I'm going to attract the very best talent for it, people who will leave their current roles for the one I'm offering. Supply and demand exist for a specific good, and 1x vs. a 5x or 10x talent aren't comparable goods. This is why I like the flat salary with variable equity model. The incentives are almost beautiful. If the role I'm looking to fill can be filled by cheaper people whose work I'm indifferent to, I should just be outsourcing it because they aren't delivering anything above the transaction, and they won't be be assets to growing a company.
