It may be, but key words are "it happens".
This is anecdotal, but when I got my very first job interview at a somewhat big local company back when I was 19, the interviewer was apparently very eager to hire me, until I mentioned the salary topic, then her face changed from excited to like "rude, we're not hiring this guy" almost immediately.
I would name drop them if I remembered the company name.
They ghosted me tho
Why do HR people seem to think that anyone's primary motivation for working is something other than the paycheck?
I have absolutely loved my last three jobs. Some days at my best job didn't even feel like work at all. But I would not keep going back if they stopped paying me.
