The whole post is hyperbole with not much to add beyond interest rates go up and VC money goes down. Even including benefits, those numbers are wildly overinflated, certainly there are some individuals that make that number but I was always told that it was the unicorn OG engineers at google that were making $1mm+ total annual comp.
well if you're a technical person in the current economy it
It's decent enough resource that packs all the issues (except S178) into one convinient package to point to next time someone asks "why does the market suck". You can argue the hyperbole takes away, but it adds some engagement (the nightmare stories are probably not even that far from the truth, given my experiences).
If nothing else I was intrigued (but maybe am not 100% onboard) with the "hire the safe middle" process for modern interviewing. "Overqualified" is mostly a weasel term, but I can see it coming up from interviewers who truly do not understand top talent (note: I am very much not top talent).
