And do you ask payment for the comp-off against the time-off that you had to take to visit for the interview.

And do you ask payment for the gas spent while driving to come attend the interview.

And do you ask compensation for your intelligent views presented during the interview when they asked you a technical problem related to their real life scenario and your answer ended up solving that saving them millions.

Pre-pandemic, you could get flown out for onsites for the higher positions, so they sort of already were doing that.

And if I save them millions within the time box of an interview, they'll probably hire me anyway.

But I can invoice my time even though I'm not invoicing every detail of it.

Oh, you went way overboard just for the sake of your argument. Interviews at such positions have a different format. And different expectations. Heck, even the job contracts are customised at those levels. Nobody's gonna give those candidates a written technical round.

Not necessarily. If the HR is short-sighted, and that happens a lot for a lot of even famous companies, they'll say you have already saved the million and that your salary expectation is not worth it. Trust me, shit like this happens.

Theoretically yes (and they'll sure as hell contest that claim). But I've never seen anybody EVER do that except _very rarely_ for positions in Legal.
