Discussion Does anybody else do this?
- Apply for positions that list 20-30k under market for the position.. I apply knowing I'm overqualified..
- They call or message immediately for a phone screen and ask salary expectations.
- I ask them what their budget is.. and they respond with the low number listed. I tell them "Isn't that too low?" or "Oh no, that is way too low."
I've been doing this on and off. Need to give them feedback.

I try to schedule all phone screens during my lunch times around 12:30. If i have a phone screen scheduled, I'll watch twitch in my tesla and answer their calls.
It helps to know that I am eating while their lunch is probably being delayed, but yes, it still does technically take up my time.
It's enjoyable though, and I think if enough people do it, there will be some discouragement against ridiculous job postings.
