When company says they cannot find good enough people to hire it really means they cannot find cheap enough people.

Not true IME from working and hiring at several tech companies.

They pay at top of market. They would save a ton on comp if they gave up on h1 candidates and hired the best they could find locally.

I know popular sentiment here is often that there is no real difference between these candidates, and the standards are arbitrary. That is simply it true. There are vast differences in engineering talent. Some people are truly amazing compared to the median candidate.
