> All job interview processes are flawed. They're just flawed in different ways, and some of those flaws work to your advantage and some don't.

Ways in which the flaws of interview process have helped me:

* I'm very good at "conversational" interviews. I have battle scars from years in industry. Higher-ups at companies want to hear about that, and they make me strong offers. But technically, I could completely suck at my job and the discussion could sound exactly the same.

* Most of my money is stock growth from my initial packages. No way I would have this $$$ from bonuses.

* My title-bump came during hiring, not promotion.
