If it really were a once in a lifetime career opportunity, then the salary would reflect that.
I love this. In my field we often say something like "this is mission-critical? Did the architects know? It's not been designed to proper spec, you know, and that's a safety issue." But, #union, so it's different.
So often, it's deemed crucial but not really set up as if it were, and there's the parallel with a "lifetime" opportunity architected like a joe-job.
