Do you mean specifically salaries, or comp in general? Like what about stocks and refreshers? Are people getting less (via lower/absent refreshers etc.)?

a lot of people count their chickens before they hatch re the stock compensation. Instead of counting the price when the grant was made (but not vested), they're counting the already vested (or soon to be vested) stock, at the current price.
When stock prices are high, it looks like your compensation is high, because 3 years ago, you were granted stock compensation that only vested now.
Which is why i always want to know cash compensation and stock compensation separately. Otherwise, it's hard to make comparisons.
