Don't be silly. For people who aren't already millionaires, the thought of $1 million is as surreal as $10 million. Either would be a dream come true for most people.

I have friends at Cisco who are at relatively low-level positions and have watched their options grow to over a million in 2 years time. That is a dream for almost everyone I know outside of Silicon Valley.

So when you say Cisco can't compete with Sycamore who are anchoring on a very small subset of people. There are a tremendous amount of very talented, intelligent people out there that would go with Cisco for the more realistic chance at $1 million than a highly speculative chance at $10 million.

Try to think outside of your own world, my friend. It's easy to look around you at all of your own friends and acquaintances and think that the same must be true for the rest of the world.
