CosmosTwitter offers three times the salary, though. Hard to compete with that.

Work-life balance is very important to some, and with cost-of-living adjustments the difference in money after all bills have been paid isn't quite as big. Do get the point though, but I certainly don't think it's impossible, especially not if you want senior personnel who likely want to be able to spend some time with their families.

You'd think so, but I'm not convinced. Maybe toxic workaholic culture propaganda has gotten to me, but it seems like the most impactful people enjoy long hours anyway.
