As a BigCo hiring manager, I can tell you we are forced into a rough spot.
During perf/comp season, I get only a relatively small pool to allocate as salary/bonus/RSU increases.
And when hiring, every candidate worth hiring demands a total comp that exceeds my highest-performing engineers. Recruiting and even my own management chain is OK with giving in.
I've let several candidates go even though my management told me to just pay up, because it's unfair to the current team to introduce such an imbalance, and at any rate it causes me all kinds of headaches during the next perf/comp season when the new-hire wants a huge bonus on top of their huge hiring package.
