The legend of the ghostly universal programmer or "vacancy for the golden coder"

Published in the Random EN group
If you take on such a task as providing groups with fresh interesting vacancies, then every day you have to shovel, though not tons, but a decent amount of information. And what you will not meet, diving into the muddy abyss of recruiting sites: both ads without requirements for candidates, and obvious fraudulent scams for money. But a special place in our hearts is occupied by vacancies for some incredible superprogrammers who know a dozen diverse languages ​​and have knowledge and skills in almost all computer and near-computer specialties. After all, it is so interesting to read about such lists (copy-paste of one of the real vacancies, met no later than yesterday):

I look at this and think: “Is there really a person somewhere who alone will pull out web programming, and databases, and design, and creating mobile applications, and animation, and front-end, and back-end, and testing, and all -everything? Who knows, maybe there is! Surely the salary of such a rare specialist should be very high - at least two thousand dollars. After all, he alone can replace an entire development studio. But no. Usually, the announced salary level for such vacancies (if it is indicated at all) does not rise above $ 600. I wonder who will go for such a salary, with such a front of work, despite the fact that the rate for “just Java middles” is noticeably higher? Of course, the inadequacy of such vacancies can be attributed to the inexperience of the employer in the IT field. What kind of language is this - "iphone"? What does the employer mean? What should the candidate be able to use an Apple smartphone or program in Objective-C? As in a hackneyed situation with a broken printer and the phrase “fix it - you programmer!”. But such pearls are born from time to time in the bowels of web studios or middling outsourcing companies. This suggests the thought: what if they still exist, these fabulous specialists? And since they know so much, it seems that they have also learned Zen and are ready to give up worldly joys, so to speak, they feed on knowledge ... Therefore, a salary of 600 dollars is more than enough for them? However, enough swearing. In fact, we, the editors of the groups, became very interested in what you, our readers, think about such vacancies? Perhaps you are familiar with one of the "golden coders" and can shed some light on what how does he live with such a load and how much does he earn approximately? Perhaps one of you decided to apply for such a vacancy and even go for an interview? Help us, it's really interesting!
