> Thanks. Also wondering: should more senior people be offended by exploding offers. Architects, team leads, etc? If anything, they should be less offended. Companies are often simultaneously hiring multiple junior developers, so it's less necessary to make purely sequential offers. Technical leads, on the other hand, are typically hired for a specific need. Given their cost, companies rarely are hiring multiple leads simultaneously. Hence, parallelism of offers is impossible. Plus, since all senior devs are in high demand, employers want to make offers to as many as possible—before someone else snaps it up. Hence, exploding offers are a completely justifiable hiring tool.
