Like any market, they will not be the only ones in it. People remember how you treat them - especially in times like these. They will be paying premium prices for a demoralized workforce. They put themselves in a real tough position here.

Sure they’ll pay a premium like Amazon pays a premium. Paying a fraction more doesn’t really matter when your profit per employee is many times that.

You're describing the deal from three years ago: pay premium for premium talent that's willing to go above and beyond. I'm telling you about the new deal they have: premium prices for mediocre demoralized talent. They're dead in the water. "Things change" is a platitude that cuts both ways.

They don't pay a fraction more. Levels.fyi says I'd about double my salary and if they downlevel about 50% more.
