This, 1000 times. How can it be 2016 and we are still having this discussion? Particularly with the group on HN, who are generally speaking extremely valuable and highly trained.

If you do not bring value to your employer, you will be fired. That might be a highly liquid, difficult to characterize value, but it is undeniably a value-add.

Even on HN people like to see themselves as brilliant billionaires in the making.

We are talking about the hiring process here, being selected at all, how your financial prowess doesn't jive with the culture fit doctrine.
