And if you expect talent to seek out those companies, they're in for a rude surprise.

I think the OPs main point is that salary is as much a function of location as it is talent. Not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to move to Silicon Valley.

Prudent point. I'm sure my personal experience isn't an isolated case—I've had many opportunities to move to SV, LA, or Seattle areas for positions that paid 2-4x what I make where I am now but it would mean leaving everyone I know and love far behind, including my partner who has their own career.

So, even beyond being fortunate is the weight of what matters to oneself more.
