#1 makes no sense. Facebook/Google/Zynga/etc pay hires more because they can no longer offer hires significant equity, like an early startup can. A startup is never going to beat an established company on pay, it's going to beat it on equity. If an offer of significant equity doesn't convince a potential developer to come onboard, perhaps the problem is that the company isn't promising enough.

Couldn't agree more. A startup, headed up by an MBA no less, is somehow more innovative than a hothouse of talent and capital?

It sounds like this MBA is angry at the most basic law of economics: when the supply is less than demand, prices go up.

Seems more like he just didn't realize how much demand there was, and how little supply.

Agreed. I almost questioned whether this post was a parody, instead of a genuine example of the entitled generation.
