That is a great trick. I played along with the number trick, and I also had my number predicted. So this is success on a random independent sample of 2 people, with 1-in-20 odds. I'm sure LLN eventually kicks in, but I'll remember this coincidence for a long time.

Rather than just downvote and otherwise be silent (I didn't up or down vote), I'll provide some direct feedback. First, as a reader, I almost never want to encounter a weird "wink-wink know what I mean?" type of joke out of the blue. Second, your "ladies" comment has a tone drawn from the era where cigarettes, martini lunches, and casual harassment were the norm. My rule is: if I find something that I write really funny, don't send.

Yes, exactly, and nomenclature borrowed from the parent. (This is another throwaway, and I am responding.)

The topic here is on offers to new hires -- not value delivered after time and work invested. Offers at market rate -- even in the FAANG world -- are not at 7 figures (6 zeros), definitely not at 10x that, and certainly not before the new employee has done anything worthwhile for the firm. There are individuals who do get such offers, but they are rare, they have done remarkable things previously, and they have a reputation they can bring to any conversation about compensation. Their market is not representative.
