If money isn't an issue, then surely they won't mind a higher salary requirement. $130k is reasonable for the greatest tech talent in the world, right?

Actually, the top companies in the Bay Area are paying dramatically more than $130k, so they wouldn't mind.

That was my immediate thought when I heard about this. Raise it up to at least 250k if you really want it to get back to being a program for the truly unreplaceable talent.

I don't think "silicon valley" is worried. I think the body shops are worried, and the writer of the article just conflates the two (because he doesn't really know - or is not interested to know - the difference?).
