Had an initial screening call. Then had an online interview with 4 people present on the call. Lasted about 1 hour, presentation was about 20 minutes and then questions about the presentation and then general questions about me and the role

Applied for a position in Hillsboro, OR. Was contacted by an HR representative in Texas who didn't look like they work for the same company. HR representative's first question was if I had visa sponsorship (H1b). Their second question was if I was will to accept $70k annual for the job (~ 25% below the average salary for this job for a fresh PhD). When I said no to both, they never got back, no follow up even. Quite a bizarre experience but looks a lot like they were trying to hire a foreign national (through a contract HR agency) with an existing visa who doesn't have a job and will be willing to work at low pay just to be in status from an immigration standpoint.
