I see nothing wrong with paying premium salaries for premium talent.
I'm not in the know here, but if i'm allowed to throw my 2 cents, i feel the article focuses too much in money as the only way of attracting talent. Maybe smaller companies can attract top talent with different strategies? Remote work option, family benefits (health and education packages).
Some creativity would have to be thrown in the mix, but going the extra mile could play a big role in getting people's attention.
Benefits cost money too, in a lot of cases certain benefits may cost more than just increasing the salary. Obviously this isn't the case for remote work but certain healthcare benefits could absolutely eclipse higher salaries.
