Keep in mind it’s really easy to trick yourself into believing the salaries you’re offering are aggressive.
I bet 80% of companies would say they have above average salaries.

And it might be true. E.g., they are all paying the same, and the remaining 20% are driving the average down.
So, I am not just 'saying'. I have data. Careful research goes into making sure our employees are paid in pace or exceeding the market.
And turnover here is super high due to salary.
Every time I've encountered someone claiming they offered "aggressive" salaries, they were not in fact doing so.
Those who actually are offering aggressive salaries just put the number out there and let people decide for themselves.
