It is the fault of FAANG/unicorn salaries. Engineers always aspire to have FAANG/Unicorn salaries, so no matter how much the companies try to increase it, if it doesn't match them, then the engineers will eventually move on.

Therefore companies know that their engineers will leave anyway, so they chose not to increase the salaries.

The thing is - if the engineers leave, it's because they find a better salary elsewhere.

Since not all engineers get offers from FAANG, there must be something else.
