The opportunity is that not everyone is efficiently allocated and the challenge is that there are *enormous* incentive systems staffed by competent people which already made the easy, consensus allocation decisions.https://twitter.com/david_perell/status/1204977034453291009 …

It's been fascinating to watch the world quietly pass this inflection point. Even less than a decade ago, several folks noted that Google had an event horizon such that competent engineers and product folks entered but almost never left. Uncapped upside is hard to compete with.

Yes, almost all Google people I know would go to a startup if the startup would pay at least 75% of their current pay (including stock grants, etc...). Complaining about talent and offering 1/2 (or less) of what they make elsewhere isn’t really a “shortage.”

Any insight on the extent Google did this deliberately (i.e. pay more and staff more than needed) to inhibit nascent competition? Just tie up the talent rather than let competition form?
