Why do you think Amazon and Apple aren't like this?
All of the big software houses compete for the same engineers, and they're all paying their incremental new engineers +/- 10% the same total comp across the experience spectrum.
I would agree with pascalxus, the big tech companies aren't price sensitive.
That doesn't mean the average engineer can easily finagle a drastically out-of-band salary, but the bands are already exceptionally high and grow faster than inflation in the aggregate.
