This would only be true if finding another job was a simple (and reliable) process for most people. I imagine you might come back and say, "But finding another job should be easy for a talented engineer!" To which I would say, nope! Not true! The tech interview grind is often inconsistent and demoralizing. Even talented people might make a reasonable calculation to avoid the trouble and just stick with their current job.
- bradlys 4y agoCorrect. People also assume that you’re always going to get paid more at a new gig. This just isn’t true in SV. If you joined a startup and it rocketships - I’ve seen many smart engineers stick around for years just because they have a 7-fig TC. Why would they move elsewhere? Just isn’t financially responsible and most are willing to suffer through it as far as I’ve seen.
