160k limit reached in 2013 for lot of high tech jobs. Basically good that more fixed salary will be paid upfront and lesser variables part to be cashed later.

Juggling that transition will be a nightmare. The bigger issue is the 5/15/40/40 vesting schedule for hire on grants. It sets people up to take a huge pay cut in year 5 if the stock has done well. They refreshes are much smaller or non-existent if the stock does well.

Do young people want to work at IBM? I canât imagine them competing for software talent against startups, FAANG, etc.

Yeah right⌠Even I donât want to work for IBM, and Iâm old. IBM is my parentâs generation. And theyâre 70.
The report identifies a marked shift in the geography of talent over the past decade away from extreme concentration in coastal superstar cities and leading tech hubs like San Francisco; San Jose, California; Washington D.C.; Boston, and New York and toward metros across the heartland and nationwide, like Austin, Texas; Minneapolis-St. Paul; Kansas City, Missouri; St. Louis; Oklahoma City; Des Moines, Iowa; Omaha, Nebraska; Columbus, Ohio; Cincinnati; Nashville, Tennessee; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Iowa City, Iowa; Auburn, Alabama and Fayetteville, Arkansas to name a few**.**
Good that you are getting it. Jobs, jobs, jobs. I am wondering whether @manch still refuse to see the reality.

While the lowest starting wage of $15 an hour wonât change, pay for new employees will range as high as $24 an hour depending on the job and the local market,
Market rate for min wage job is $25. $24 is a dollar too low.
$15? Please donât joke. Nobody work for such a low rate.
Welcome to the wage spiral and hyperinflation.
Buy RE and stocks to hedge 
$40k-$50k from $30k per year for min wage.

The data suggests people arenât quitting their jobs to exit the labor market and sit on the sidelines, economists said. Instead, the high level of resignation indicates a strong job market for workers with ample opportunities, they said.
Resignation rates are up most in sectors like manufacturing, leisure and hospitality, and retail trade â where demand is high and employment has been growing, Bunker said.
Quit as cook in restaurant A, join restaurant B for 10% increase in pay, quit 6 months later, join restaurant C for 10% increase in pay, quit 6 months later, join restaurant D for 10% increase in pay, âŚ
Ditto for all other jobs.
