You are going to get hired at 1.5x, you are going to get hired even at 10x, but only on the top of the hierarchy.
On the bottom of the hierarchy the lowest managers do not not want to hire special cases. If you are that good then the manager will really have no power over you and can't even replace you if it becomes needed.
So you only have 2 options if you are significantly above average. Fight your way up for big money or stay at the bottom and work very little to compensate for the small salary. You should be able do get an average work load done in no time if you really are good.
The highly paids at the top of the hierarchy are not compensated for what they know(that’s a given) but for who they know…the money is for the network and ‘Rolodex’.
