I'm not sure, I don't work in Grab. I got that from a relatively senior guy in FB, so I assume he knows what he's talking about. I know at the peak of the tech cycle, some companies were offering $7k for SOC fresh grads who met certain criteria, so while $9k for a junior programmer sounds excessive under normal conditions, it was probably within norms during the euphoria.
I've seen this nonsense happen before in the IB industry right before the GFC, had a couple of young analysts in my team poached away by banks offering significantly higher markups.
