I assumed a 1.zy multiplier vs a 1.0y multiplier (where y,z are decimal digits)

Anyway, I'm not convinced that's causal. Doesn't FB have a reputation for paying well to get smart people, and don't many people aspire to work there so they can get paid well?

I personally don't believe I would ever work for facebook because of how uninterested / opposed I am to their mission. But I don't see any evidence, including lots of people I know that went to work for them, that a few people like me actually materially impact their ability to hire

They were always one of the most picky and high paying employers out there, but anecdotal reports from friends say their offers now are truly stratospheric and even other FAANGs don't want to compete on a compensation basis.
