The appropriate response is to ask for a top-1% salary, of course.
Nowdays a senior role at FAANG will often pay a top 1% salary, and salary growth at these companies shows no signs of stopping.
How senior? Obviously not at the seniority I was just offered by Google (and rejected).
Do the 1% apply to jobs with such descriptions? I’m not in the 1% in my domain and I wouldn’t touch a job with those words or phrases in the description.
I would imagine the real top 1% (if there were a good way to quantify that) never “apply” anywhere.
Yeah, I can't image someone like John Carmack having to apply anywhere.
Exactly. The bottom 10% of engineering talent probably fill the bottom 90% of interviewing talent.
