It can be dealt by creating high-paying higher rungs on career ladder and then promoting the 10x people there. So, regular SE position can have a salary range of say $120k-$150k, but principal senior staff ninja can have say $400k-$600k. That's how FAANGs do it basically.

E.g., when people express dissatisfaction over the fact that those in the C-suite make X times what the average employee does, pointing out that the people in the C-suite have different titles or roles from the average employee doesn't seem to assuage anybody.
- djur 4y agoMost complaints I hear about C-level pay boil down to claims that the roles themselves are overvalued, not that individuals are overpaid for the role. I think the value of an extremely highly-performing engineer is likely to be more apparent to the "rank and file" than that of an executive, especially at a company where employee morale is a serious concern.
