No, this is an artifact of insisting that people pretend to be true believers during interviews.
After I was fired from a position doing bug bounty triage on HackerOne, I applied to be a bug triager on HackerOne. And they rejected me, stating that my description of why I applied, "this is identical to the job I was already doing", didn't make them feel that I saw their company as a calling rather than a place of employment.

- thaumasiotes 2y agoNo, I applied for a job involving exactly the same duties as a job I had just been fired from. I was not originally (or ever) employed by HackerOne.
