Bro Really Said I Know A Guy

You can have the perfect resume, a portfolio that would make senior devs weep with envy, and interview skills smoother than a well-optimized SQL query.

Nepotism is the ultimate cheat code in the job market—no LeetCode grinding required, just a well-timed "hey, my buddy works there." Meanwhile, you're out here with your Master's degree and killer CV getting auto-rejected by ATS bots. The tech industry: where it's not what you know, it's who you know... and who they know.
