How does this logic cope with someone who puts intense levels of effort into developing interview skills, but not the depth of development or design skills to be a continued success post hire?

Nothing is easy.

Everything in a balance.

Downturns always reveal the important of relationships — the true gold and what is always worth investing in and collecting.

This is my fourth downturn. Nothing — nothing — has fundamentally changed.

I expect it resolves just fine. The intense effort that you acknowledge is precisely what it takes to move forward in this field.
