Seriously are $250,000 signing bonuses and 60% pay increases common in the valley. What level employee is this for. Clearly I'm doing something wrong or need to move to SV asap because I've never heard of that kind of pay here on the east coast outside of maybe NYC
"Automakers from around the world are rushing to set up offices in the Bay Area to tap the engineering talent.

The IT workers should form a union. I'm not a fan of unions (they seem to devolve towards corruption here in Australia), but I'd prefer that over arseholes like Jobs et al making wage "agreements". How scummy is that, they're raking in billions, and they decide to be tight on the people that make them their cash? Scumbags.
