While I sympathise with this struggle, as a 5'5 guy I don't feel like I've suffered from this all that much.

Certainly the shift to remote work and remote interviews has helped though.

Same height/experience, though as someone in my mid 40s I feel like society has gotten worse about it, possibly because younger people are that much taller now. But for instance I was promoted to management in my early 30s.

I’ve mostly been remote for the past decade so it’s hard to quantify what things would be like now.
