Is hiring really that broken? Not everyone hires like that and if they do, maybe they're no good to begin with.
I keep hearing how the interviews at Google are really tough, but then a lot of the people who actually get through quit in the first weeks. It can't be that great of a job.
Yes, hiring really is that broken. Everyone who is a player who is openly "hiring" is playing that same game. "if they do maybe they're no good to begin with" is sour grapes, and while it may be true, it's also true that almost no company is good. But they have the money and I need the money, so.
Speaking of which, "it can't be that great of a job"...no, of course not, it's a job. But a job is a job (roughly speaking), and a $300k/year job is to many/most people twice as good as a $150k/year job.
