> I personally think if big tech wants to hire in the US and still pay lower $ than they currently do, the only lever they have left to pull is the interviewing format / bar. The fact that big tech has not yet changed the format of the interview I believe shows that this convergence has not yet happened. This system is designed with tolerance for false negatives (qualified grads who will be rejected). At some point if these companies had a true demand for more graduates, they would revise the way they evaluated candidates to limit the number of qualified rejections.
