I think it’s more competitive than that.

Company B isn’t just looking at company A’s “success”. Company B’s levels of attrition are increasing because its employees are going to company A. So company B has no other option than to open the hiring floodgates or else they can’t meet bare bones maintance tasks let alone growth.

Not your comment but most of the comments on this thread are whacky. It’s like people completely forgot how hot the software market was during the pandemic. Anecdotal but I had 2 friends trying to break into the software game at the same time. That didn't happen during the pre 2019 boom so who knows what that means lol
