Well, I have many more examples similar to yours... Our CTO actually interviewed with Facebook over 8 rounds (!) only to find out at the end that they won't offer him the salary he was expecting and asking since the very beginning. But they dragged him along because for HR it's just a normal work day, but for him it was a gigantic waste of time.

Imagine a world without headhunters... Haha

That's a common negotiation strategy. They just drag it along and hope you're tired enough to accept whatever you get. Most companies don't do this (because their time is worth something too), but FAANG gets so many applicants they wouldn't really care.

I'm glad there are sites like this to make it salaries more transparent.

Couldn't agree more... Transparency almost always helps and in this case it definitely does.
