I did well at the interview. I produced not one but two different solutions to the test problem that was given to me, with time to spare. Today, I receive an e-mail where they say that they are afraid they can’t provide me with ‘conditions suitable for my level of knowledge and skills’.

How in the world am I supposed to get re-employed if I get rejected from entry-level jobs because of my overcompetence, but don’t have the job experience in the area where I can work long-term for the non-entry-level jobs?
I love crapitalism. /s

It’s because you knew 0.999…=1, wasn’t it? There are some things humanity was never meant to know.
