They won't get 2x offers if they don't have a pedigree and can't handle hard tech interviews. (Which is what he's filtering for).

An employee with limited options = A more stable employee

Humbly disagree. 2x offers depends on how little he's paying them to begin with vs how easy it is to switch jobs. You don't need a pedigree or be able to handle hard tech interviews to switch jobs in NYC. You just need to go on a lot of interviews. Eventually, one will say yes.

NYC isn't exactly a place where you have limited options. You want limited options? Try to find a job upstate.
