Yep, I agree with you 100% and as I said before I think companies looking to hire are doing themselves a disservice by not paying attention to this more. A grueling day long interview to get into Google is/was worth it at least from a monetary compensation POV.
But frankly most shops out there are not worth it, but if they are, let's talk about how. Many very smart people I know would willingly leave their high-salaried FAANG job for a more rewarding or interesting job even with a steep compensation cut -- and there are many places that would benefit from that talent -- they just need to learn how to recruit it.
