Many in tech are only their instead of starting direct competition to the major tech players because of the high compensation. Sure I could create my own startup and make more, but with lower pay and way lower headache i’ll take the salary.

If I was being offered what European companies offer swe, i’d be out the door. I might even go take a job that’s enjoyable since the pay isn’t there.

I actually hope this is a broad movement for big tech companies to pay less. I’d love to see an exodus of power from them.
