I wonder if anyone's ever tracked the eventual career trajectory for candidates they hired versus ones they rejected in interviews. This process sounds like it selects for people comfortable with the somewhat rare skillset of sweating hours of face-to-face quizzing without breaking.

I think a better comparison would be how much effort a candidate puts into finding a better job.

People willing to grind leetcode, send out 400+ resumes, doing a lot of interviews will probably have a better career than the one's who don't.

For a very narrow definition of "better career" maybe. I concede that it might result in more wealth.
