Ironically, if I was a hiring manager I would much rather care about your history of insubordination than your self-ascribed writing skills.
A valid strategy if servility is a trait matching the role.
But I doubt it would be present in those capable of producing insightful or thoughtful writing. Unique value usually emerges from some degree of risk taking, including the risks involved in hiring talented people over reliable sheep where needed.
You're hearing noble assumptions of risk taking and talent, sticking the neck out and lording over the sheep, but all I'm seeing is narcissism and overconfidence.
Yes me too, but that's sampling bias. Not everyone is equally visible.
Hoo boy.
