Without knowing more, I would still speculate that US based applicants are being thrown out before they reach him

They absolutely aren't, because I get tons of applicants that are folks like "Salesmen" with no IT experience of any kind for these jobs. Within Workday I can see every single applicant.

I don't understand. When I was looking in the area, I couldn't even get an interview. Granted, I'm over 40 and was laid off after only being with new company for a few months. Red flags for hiring folks. I never even got a chance to explain why I was laid off. It occurred after a short medical leave for a bad concussion (occurred at home while moving into new house). No reflection on my capability but may be a reflection of the person I was working for...

So, now I'm tainted and doing my own thing. I was only granted one interview in two years... with SpaceX of all companies. I find that pretty amusing. I was not good enough for all of these normal companies, but SpaceX gave me a shot.
