The side effects of this move are probably bigger than the move itself. Hopefully this induces other companies to advertise their salary ranges as candidates (it's still a candidate's market out there) use Microsoft's ranges as reference for negotiating salaries on other non-MS jobs.

Essentially this will push salaries up to match the massive inflation we've seen recently. Likely this will result in a homeostasis at some future point.
