>talented people don’t have to put up with crap like this?

Is this true outside of tech? The only application I ever did in finance/accounting that wasn't one of these annoying forms was an IB interview I got through nepotistic networking, nothing to do with my talent.

Yes, there are lots of jobs, and talented people can switch.

Jobs that pay well can treat their people worse - though worse treatment is weird. There are places that treat their people well, but because the job is considered unethical by many they have to pay more.

Technically they can.

But on practice, jobs that treat people badly also tend to pay badly.
