All I here is about the gauntlet of interviews people have to go through to get a job.

How are the people getting through the interview process? Are these individuals working through a third-party that's covering for them?

My assumption is that they make it through at large, "boring" corporate jobs.

I just can't imagine any of the startups I've ever worked for falling prey to this. Until the pandemic, easily 2/3 of the companies I seriously pursued flew me to their HQ for in-person interviews.

Probably because they are willing to work for a lot less compensation!
