If they were not applying because salary ranges were too low for them they would have ended up rejecting your offer in any case. So to me it looks like you saved time and resources on stray leads.

In finance, sales and VP+ posts yes but I think for majority of us ICs and lower Ms bonuses are usually sub 20% of the total comp (even at the FAANGs)

I mean isn't this just how fiction supposed to be ? I am sure you can find a huge number of "modern day devices" mentioned in science-fiction of yesteryears as well. All inventions start with imagination after all.

I usually just lurk here but something in your comment made it impossible for me to ignore. I do not want to be rude but think you are behaving exactly like a pushy parent who would cause the sort of trauma OP is facing right now. This cons
