These recent months it seems the reviewing and selling, the hype-mongering, is more about remaining employed than it is a pay bump.

It's a sad state of affairs when the inexperienced code-olympiads you hire need to transition partially from devs-as-engineers to introverts-as-showmen. It's like they hired apples, made them work like oranges, and now only keep the ones who can also be dolphins.

Haha good analogy. The "remaining employed" is a point i missed. Broad layoffs in my company would probably make me do the same i suppose.
