From what I gather it is hard to hire the highest level developers because they hate the endless meetings, bureaucracy and micromanagment. Salaries are comparable to industry which seems quite high for dutch standards but if you make education hard and expensive with unreasonable time constraints and little adjustment to demand you are just going to end up enforcing scarcity which calls for even higher salaries. We also continue to suffer from managerialism. It makes it strange to pay someone building stuff more than someone managing them.
