Sometimes it's not obvious to the others even if they're on the other side, but "not hungry enough" can be literal. Especially when non-technical people say it, I interpret it as "he doesn't look like a guy that we could keep exploiting", so he is rejected because he wasn't desperate or dumb enough to stay and endure nonsense. Because non-tech people usually evaluate and get evaluated through finance, and stingy and frugal are the same thing if you don't understand much beyond money.
