Maybe to the specific candidates affected, but this would also have had a stifling effect on compensation across the industry too (and the resulting growth would have lasted for years). This kind of subtle wage fixing pays off in spades.
- hinkley 4y agoCall me crazy, but I don’t think the industry benefits from people bouncing between FAANGs. They have a massively distorted view of the world and that creates massively distorted engineers who have lost the capacity to think about solving a problem for 100,000 people instead of four billion. That’s four and a half orders of magnitude off. The perverse incentive with the anti poaching collusion is to move from FAANG to a startup. Where you are confronted by problems involving 50 servers instead of a million. Normal problems.
