Salary range filters can admit jobs whose minimum pay falls below your floor

A job alert set to a minimum salary can surface roles whose advertised range merely reaches the threshold at its upper end, not its lower end. The Actor's filter checks range overlap, so a posting starting below the target can still pass collection. That suits compensation research but not a personal alert, which needs evidence that the lower bound meets the floor. The author recommends separating collection from acceptance, defining an explicit annual USD range, and routing unclear postings to a review queue rather than rejecting or accepting them. A narrow parser that demands explicit currency, period, and bounded range helps avoid misreading units or equity as cash.
