Unfortunately not true in my experience – the flow that I hear of happening a lot nowadays: * Employee is happy (enough) * Recruiter reaches out saying "we'll pay you your_current_comp * 2" * Employee thinks "hmmm that seems **ing crazy, I wonder what's going on" * Checks resources like levels.fyi or their network and realizes that they could _theoretically_ make (current_comp * 1.5), and probably pretty easily make (current_comp * 1.5) * This leads to bitterness in some cases, or frank discussions of how to get paid more in others I don't necessarily think that this is a bad thing fwiw but it requires employers to anticipate comp issues as benchmarks change.
