I think the OP was talking about interviewing at 40 companies per year, not interviewing 40 candidates at their company. Also hey man! Are you still doing work for Fusion?

The only other industry I can think of that has interviews anywhere as close to as ridiculous as ours is the performing arts. Why is that other industries don’t need 6+ rounds of interviews for experienced candidates?

You interview at 40+ places every year? If that’s true there is something very wrong with our industry. How do you have time for that? One minor note they only have to file a 1099 if you made more than $600 (of course you’re still supposed

I don’t think the op was talking specifically to the content author, but to all the people who read the article and get the idea to scrape Wikipedia.

1. You'd be surprised what kind of traffic scrapers can generate. I've seen scraping companies employing botnets to get around rate limiting that could easily cost enough in extra server fees to cause an "undue burden".
