I will believe this when I hear of serious talent retention efforts becoming widespread.

  The problem always precedes the solution. If the problem is starting to be noticed now, the attempted solutions will show up... maybe later this year, in a half-baked way? Maybe in 2023 or 2024, in a decently well-thought-out way?

    Companies have been complaining about dev talent being in short supply for about a decade now. Best way to get a raise is still to quit your job after a year.

      > for about a decade Oh, they've been complaining at least since I started in the early 90's.

      Do you think it's sustainable to raise your entire dev team's comp by 20% or 30% year after year after year? I just don't think that math makes sense after a short period of time.

        >Do you think it's sustainable to raise your entire dev team's comp by 20% or 30% year after year after year? Is it more or less sustainable than hiring new staff each and every year to replace those who leave?

          Based on the way the market functions, yes the status quo seems to be more sustainable.
