Yeah, I see that. And I can imagine that the idea of the interview, how one excels in them, where they are, that they take time, that you are being seen in person and thus invoking many of the natural human reactions and conscious or unconscious biases people have, etc. etc., can be controversial.

Regarding the latter, the very first CFO with whom I worked closely graduated from West Point and got his MBA at MIT. Keep in mind that his was 20 years ago, but he used to say, and not in a whisper, that being overweight was an indication that one lacks the ability to manage oneself and, thus, that such people are not as trustworthy to manage other things (like work) as other (thinner) people.

I mean, I know that’s a mouthful, but he’s hardly an outlier.
