> Which one are you looking to pay for? If you have budget for a superstar, why would you settle for just-over-the-bar talent? Having done a fair amount of hiring over decades... because you don't know who will show up. The minimum bar of the job description is who I need at least. But occasionally someone shows up who is insanely perfect, hitting on every optional wishlist item. I'll pay a lot more for that person, but I can't count they will apply because I can't wait a year for the perfect person to show up. So I'm also happy to hire someone at the minimum bar if that's how it goes.
