Yeah I mean I have to thank Facebook, because I was at Google in 2011.
Anyone remember when Google raised the entire company's salary, maybe 30K or 60K people at that point, something like 20-25% all at once? Eric Schmidt and Laszlo Block got on stage and told the whole company how great we are, so they want to keep us
It was low. I got a bump to 90k that year, then 130k when I jumped companies, which I thought was a mind boggling amount. Do entry level devs even get out of bed for $130k these days?

We learned later that was because Facebook didn't participate in the Steve Jobs-initiated cartel of Google-Apple-Pixar-Adobe-Intuit-LucasFilm-eBay
Eric and Laszlo of course made no mention of the collusion that turned out be illegal
