Getting rejected by a company doesn't bother me, especially for a silly reason like that. I'll see where they are in a year, and I'll most likely get the last laugh. Indeed. You see things over the course of 5, 10, and 15 years. You start to see the same patterns over and over. Oh that high flying company with the big merger? Turned out they attempted a system integration, offshored most of it, laid off senior talent 10 years ago. Then 5 years ago started hiring like crazy. Turned out the integration was a disaster, all the organziation knowledge left. The only people who stayed were the 'don't move my cheese' types who didn't have any other options. Now, they're still hiring, and if they can't get their apps off of IE6 (or IE11 in IE7 compat mode) they're screwed. That's when they start paying through the nose for senior on shore talent.
