Crushed It. Verbal Offer $5K Over Advertised. Company Car at Six Months.

The candidate crushed a job interview — their word — and got a call back with a verbal offer $5,000 higher than the advertised salary. The company added a car once they hit the six-month mark, on the grounds that the commute would run about an hour. The whole thing resolved within roughly a day, which is what hiring feels like when a company has actually decided. The post on X has about 285 likes. The company is unnamed, which is the only disappointing part of the story.
