Based on your reply I feel like we have fundamentally different world views that can't be resolved in HN comments, but I feel like I understand your view better than I did before. Best of luck to you, thanks for a thoughtful reply.

I agree with this one hundred percent. However, I would add that in my interpretation the users was likely talking about trending towards having narcissistic traits, and they weren't necessarily referring to NPD. For a little context,

TLDR; The cost of a bad hire is extremely high and not worth the risk. I'm a team lead and do a fair number of interviews. It's amazing how many people can talk about their experience and make a ton of really impressive statements

The second company in this anecdote folded my entire division after I had been working there a year. I had no idea I could get another 30% increase, it was a happy accident. And maybe before this job I couldn’t have got that pay increase.

I had the exact same situation. When I left they said how much do we have to pay to get you to stay. I literally told them that there is no amount I don't want to work for a company that won't pay me what they think I'm worth

I think this particular example is a great example of what's difficult about the world right now. Technology has opened many new opportunities for corporations and for everyday people. However, the pace of new opportunities is way fast
