Enjoyed it, I just jumped ship 6 months ago for basically all the reasons you specified.

Only thing I can add is that due to the difficulty hiring, you can attract mid-level talent with more money (they're more likely to be underpaid). I'm sure the efficacy of that approach is diminishing as steady-state is reached by people in that experience level.

I think that's true up to a point.

I wouldn't take an extra 10k for being able to take my dog for a nice walk at 2PM every day.

Would my mind change for an extra 20k? Probably not.

For an extra 50k? ...maybe, let's talk.

For an extra 100k? ...where do I sign?
