Dude, this comes as no surprise to me--I appreciate the market forces in action. For some others, there is continued surprise.
I am a bit curious about the long-term effects of the market's actions here, evaluated from a "Did we really, truly, optimally allocate resources?".

If you are a tech startup, and can't hire or retain decent talent, that's a pretty important thing for the person deciding these compensation maximums to consider in the context of any growth plans, no? Sounds like I'm preaching to the choir here, but I'm curious how you are going about tackling this challenge internally.
