I don’t disagree, but I think that’s a poor analogy. I don’t think devs take into account the business value their future job will bring their employer when negotiating salary. And if they do, they only do so when the balance is in their favor and they definitely wouldn’t lower their salary if they think the job has less impact than another job.

They do when they decide to interview for large orgs. They do it because they get better pay. It's the same service. Why not work for a small org that pays less?
