You think you can just walk into a job paying $500k without some kind of rigorous interview process?

I mean good for you if you're above it all. I'll just put in the prep work, buy a couple Porsches afterwards and call it a day.

99% of tech jobs in Europe pay less than $100k.

The point is, "that rigorous interview process" are just arbitrary hoops to jump through to see if you're obedient. That's their main purpose. Not to mention that, in Europe, anything above $200k is extremely rare. Many people would gladly go through borderline humiliating interviewing process for $500k, but won't do it for just $150k.
