Good tech companies pay employees higher than what is listed in the filing, they just don't want to divulge how much they're paying in public records. This is totally fine, there is nothing illegal about paying more. Mediocre companies (or good startups who aren't considering this stuff too deeply) file with the exact salary. Scam companies pay below what they filed (illegal).

So they're submitting false filings, you say? You know this how?

This is guaranteed money. I'm sure you've heard of appearance and performance fees in sports

I think a lot of the comments where people casually dismiss salaries in the hundreds of thousands a year as too low are just attempts at flexing.

Its Citadel, not some random company. They are infamous here in Chicago for paying people gobs of money and working you 80 hours/week. I would be highly suspect of any Citadel position under 100K.

The next Enron.

Yes, but there is nothing wrong with that! There is nothing wrong in committing to pay $200K but actually paying $250K.

They report actual pay to the IRS.

Even the salary component is higher than what the filings say.
