Sure there’s an elsewhere to go: found a company and own it all. Or take a job that isn’t subject to these hypothetical caps.

If you cut the max pay of doctors to $50K/yr, in 20 years, you’d have a lot fewer high-achieving students going into medicine and doing something else (law, engineering, etc)

There’s no shortage of qualified people wanting to become doctors, and yet they only make 2-5x what the average person makes in the US. This is exactly my point. I’m not saying CEO should be a badly paid job, I’m saying beyond a saturation point, you don’t get more/better people if you pay more. I suspect the saturation point is more like 5-10x not the 30x to 300x we’ve seen in the past 40 years
