Grit may not predict success, but insufficient grit might still sometimes play a role in career challenges. There seems to be a whole subgenre of HN posts along the lines of "I decided college was a waste of time for someone as uniquely gifted as me, so I self studied and have never had a problem getting hired for my next contract. Now I want to work at a FAANG, but they ask me to code a breadth first search. Why is the hiring process so broken?"
