Regarding W2s: I suppose expectations are different when you're in the sales world. I had a conversation with a marketing person the other day and she was surprised that engineers spend so much time during interviews. When I explained that we spend the time doing actual coding, whiteboarding designs, and doing in-depth technical discussions, her reaction was much like the reaction the HN crowd gets when W2s are mentioned. And it makes sense -- when NFL players are drafted, they're expected to go through a combine. Every occupation has a "prove it" moment during the interview process.
