Zach&#x27;s lucky (<i>privileged</i>, even) to have a platform to rant on and a large number of connections to find his next gig. He&#x27;s unlikely to lose any opportunities as a result of this post.<p>What about the rest of us, who don&#x27;t have &quot;star-power&quot; or anywhere near the kind of platform that Zach has? If you&#x27;re just Joe (or Jane)-average programmer, yes, startup interviewing is fucked. Doubly so if you don&#x27;t live in SF or SV.
