I agree with this based on the 20 or so people I&#x27;ve known to go through this process to join a large company (amazon, google, etc). I&#x27;ve heard first-hand accounts of people even re-negotiating deals just to get out of the golden handcuffs they thought they could tolerate but couldn&#x27;t. I understand this sounds a bit hoaky and I would love to give names and companies here, but obviously can&#x27;t.
