This is a great point. (Un)fortunately we have not had to but this into practice yet so when we do perhaps I will monumentally fail. Based on my limited (10 years) experience I'm pretty convinced that there is little to no correlation

Not a couple of years, but a valid point. I've always told myself I'm focussed on my compensation integrated over 10 years. This can allow for some trade off between money today and money tomorrow.

It's only negotiable because she said she had an offer from another FAANG. It would be odd to "ask for proof" though it could happen.

I'm very skeptical you can tell from an interview who's good. As we build out our salary comparison startup, peerwyse.com, I intend to openly offer properly shit salaries but great "everything else": some level of budget

The issue is that the non-salary costs routinely make up an additional 50-100% of a head count and many of these are fixed. Thus to replace a team of 4 with a team of 5, you might need to negotiate their salary component down 30% not 20%. T
