I see this comment all the time on HN. This is the reality of the corporate hiring world versus the Valley: 1) You are hiring for boring but important projects 2) There is a limited pool of local talent 3) The org will have banded salary caps 4) Differentiating A talent from B players is not a solved problem It feels great to say, "Just hire A graders! Problem solved yo!" The corporate world does not work like this.
