That’s a really interesting perspective. How much is point-in-time performance compared with potential-future-performance?
Meta level E3 with a crazy post-college salary looks like a waste of money on paper, but if they are looking like the kind of person who will make Staff Engineer in 24 months you’d want to keep them on board.
Similarly, a Staff Engineer with 4y of tenure, vested out, and killing it feels like a flight risk. Do you go out of your way to retain them, knowing they’ll probably leave soon anyway?
I’m just speculating here. Are there any real patterns like this that you’ve heard of?

What if, after hiring them, you realize they definitely won't cut it as a staff engineer? Bad hirings slip through all the time. Just because someone can leetcode doesn't automatically mean they'll reach every wild target you throw at them.
