    Not necessarily.

    While it’s true that the job listing was probably fake, the reason for listing it is often to collect data on the current hiring pool, including how much response can be expected when listing a role with varying salaries. HR departments take this insight back to their current employees and use it to decide who to give raises to and who can be replaced by someone new who will work for less.
