The bar is not merit or talent, it is political reliability.
@cmz what's the bar? Many folks have left for Microsoft or other non-FAANG companies and they didn't appear to try to keep them.
The very best technical people are not offered matches because management actively wants to get rid of them, since they embarrass the non-technical management. But Intel will match the B and C players.
