You're shadow boxing an opponent that doesn't exist.
Ilya Suskever is not a "mid-level" (as per the article) employee, he is a C-suite level employee at a tech venture.
Implying that uniqlo is using "$8.8m salaries to draw talent" implies that those salaries are broadly available to "mid-level" employees.
This is extremely implausible to me, given that that level of compensation (4x more than the C-suite employee you identified) is on par or larger than CEOs of some of the largest banks in the world.
