If you interview a candidate that completes anything 94% faster than every other candidate you’ve ever interviewed … (1) hire them immediately, (2) fire the hiring manager that passed on them, (3) adapt your interview process, because your talent just evolved.

@sanjazakovska My fear is that it puts folks in a position to want to pay you in relation to what you’ve been paid previously. Your previous salary should have very little influence in your current salary negotiations. You’re worth what they’re willing to pay that you can convince them of.
