An absolutely disgusting response, to the point where I don't think you read the article or have a vested interest in preventing action. This isn't about "the US recognizing the caste system" or even about who is respons

That was true 5+ years ago, but these days I can easily name 20+ companies that pay roughly the same or more at the senior level. Half your compensation at FAANG is name recognition for your resume.
