I'm not saying we should normalize it, I'm saying in a world where senior engineering talent is routinely paid 400k+ USD comp packages is a world in which employers will be extremely picky about who they give those 400k comp packages to, and if the business use case doesn't shake out in the small time between offer acceptance and joining the team then naturally these businesses will pull out more frequently than they used to pull out. I'm not saying its good, I'm saying its a consequence of very high pay for engineers.
