I made about 650k last year and I'm not even staff-level. I don't think paying 750k is going to attract anyone new.

At that point, you would think there would be some introspection with respect to the hiring process and the possibility of an alarming number of false negatives occurring due to absurd leetcode gauntlets. But, naaah...
I completely agree
It might attract me. I work in a non tech role because, at the time I thought that tech paid less than my chosen industry.
If I had known that I could make $750k in tech then the gap is small enough that the improved work life balance and lower stress might have tipped me to tech.
What kind of career are you currently in?
Guessing medicine
Guessing finance.
People in finance make a lot money and fantasize about having another job. People in medicine make a lot of money and play golf.

Holy cow, how is that possible?! In my European country staff level goes up to 85K. That's insane.
Part of it is luck in how my RSUs got priced in and stock appreciation. I won't make anywhere near that this year because of how poor the market has done. It'll still be over 400k though.
