There aren't millions of high IQ people applying and vying to work at Google.



High IQ or not, Google does have millions of people applying every year.

You decided to latch on to one possible inaccuracy in what I said and disregard the overall point. Even if we agree that millions is not correct, 100s of thousands or thousands of people? Point is for every 1 qualified person hired at Google there are probably 100s of (at the very least) qualified people rejected. So Google can be unbelievably picky before any they see any bad effect from their hazing interviews on themselves.


I didn't disregard your overall point, I just made a comment that didn't happen to relate to it.


My bad, I apologize if it was rude, it just came across like that to me.


Doesn't bother me. I think it's generally safe to assume comments here are made in good faith.
