I often see job postings here looking for "top <1% engineer talent" paying $100k and <1% equity and I wonder who is actually applying.

they have to say this to safe face. people who're interviewing most of the time can't even tell if it's a 50% engineer
No one will say: we are looking for cheap mediocre talent with no intention to grow, just to process assigned Jira tickets. Even if that is the actual truth in many cases.
Not a 1% engineer
