Security aside, this is the real (and very sad) take away here. People are so desperate for an organic interview that they end up neglecting common sense. Employers will complain to no end about not finding qualified candidates or dealing with scam candidates, but they're ultimately responsible for perpetuating this predicament to begin with. They're constantly stretching what they can greedily get out of you; whether it's during the hiring phase or while being employed.

I remember doing 6 hours of interviews once for a company, getting to the final stage and they wouldn't budge on $5,000 for a figure they initially accepted but reneged because the manager hiring me would be paid less than me. It was so petty. I turned it down back then, but I'm not sure I would in this market. I'd probably take it and job search while I'm working there like this guy did at Binance.
