I'm talking about the Google, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Sony, etc 'senior' positions, especially having to do with engineering or R&D. The compe ion for that kind of talent is brutal in the entire Valley and LA.
Can't say much more, but the swings in that kind of talent are also brutal due to bidding wars, since CA pretty much outright banned non-competes.
But you have to be in the area. Austin is starting to shape up like that as well and if you think it's gentrified now, wait 5-10 years, it's only gonna get much worse.
