People aren’t saying why bother to apply, their saying why bother to promote such salaries as somehow common. More people applying doesn’t somehow increase the number of openings it just pushes down salaries at [big studio].

I mean Google getting 300 vs 200 applicants for an opening is kind of silly thing to promote.

Because common isn't the right word. Attainable is.

Looking back, we are responding to a post saying “$200k shouldn't be considered high.” That’s not saying 200+k is Attainable that’s saying 200k is common.

They also say $350k isn't an "incredible" which seems to suggest it’s more than just attainable it’s a reasonable goal.
