no, it's because most people of talent have lost interest in working for big companies. 1. they get filtered out by hr bimbos before being granted a real interview. 2. they expected to have a spotless digital footprint, several references, no gaps in employment etc. 3. if they get passed the hr bimbo, they're expected to complete five more rounds of interviews including several tests and take home projects. effectively giving 40 hours of their time for a shot at the job, on top of the humiliation ritual aspect. 4. if they land the job, everything they work on is wrapped in twenty layers of red tape. 5. having the job is walking through an hr minefield of getting canceled and/or fired by any random coworker who feels threatened by them. if you have serious talent, you're not going to want to apply for huge companies now. you're just going to build your own gizmos and work for yourself.
