Sure, but not everyone can get into Facebook or Google. They take the best of the best (we can argue whether that's true or not, but that's the perception). Do startups really need Google-level developers, or just competent journeymen?

It sounds more like startups are outbidding each other, not Facebook or Google.

I think startups can be competitive simply by hiring remote. No offices. Trying to manage a slick office space and afford being located in SF is a big overhead. Hiring remote will open up your pool of candidates to people that Google & Facebook can't get.
