Who is Soham Parekh, the serial moonlighter Silicon Valley can't stop hiring?

The real problem is that companies say they want 10x engineers but they don't even pay 2x if you deliver outsized value compared to your peers. If you create a culture of high performance with associated high compensation, you'll find that engineers will spend their free time working on company problems rather than side-hustles.

There's a risk-adjusted payoff, at least in theory. A 10x doesn't get paid 10x, but also doesn't get immediately fired if the project shuts down, gets paid when sick, doesn't get paid 30% less if company revenues go down.

At least in Europe. I guess in US it's all different.

Who is going to measure this value? Few can, management doesn’t trust these few not to be in cahoots, hence, not possible. At least, that’s how I perceive it in my professional environment.
