A's hire A's and B's hire C's.

And since everybody knows they're an A, the only explanation for a 'no hire' decision must be that the interviewer is a B.

Or more likely the overwhelming majority of people who think they are "A" just aren't.

Funnily enough, often people who clearly are top rate don't think so (impostor syndrome). Dunning–Kruger appears to be very healthy in development circles.

I'm a C, I hire A++ and steal all the credit!

Who hires the Bs in the first place? :)

People with no budget.

That seems more aspirational than realistic.

That's because B's are much more common than A's.
