My startup failed, then I found out I was unemployable

GP might have been asking a rhetorical question. A data scientist's job is literally figuring out what they are "supposed to do with [...] probability related word problems".

So from the article, it seemed that the interviews were quite relevant to the jobs advertised, and that the applicant truly was not a good fit for them.

A bit interesting that he reacted with:

> about 20 of these in-person interviews going poorly ... it seemed like everyone I interviewed with was a caricature of narcissism and delusions of grandeur.

instead of reflecting over if maybe maths is actually on topic for a data science job.

It's also odd, I think, that the companies didn't ask some probability questions in a phone screen, saving time for him and themselves.
