I'm not saying your ability disappears completely. I also think it depends on the job market you're in. At my current company we interview under 1 in 1000 applicants because we get over 500 applications a day for open roles. The job market right now is not the same as the job market three years ago where you easily got 10 interviews, could pass 3 of them and then have a competitive negotiation with multiple companies. If you need to be in the top 0.1% of applicants to even get an interview you're going to get far fewer interviews. This is especially true if you are trying to push the limits on compensation and applying for positions that may be a slight stretch for your current experience.
