that's also very good. remember, the start is very hard, it is what keeps people away and makes the salaries $$$$. After you break into it it is bread and butter, you just need to be smart, listen and research. Do not give up, you will succeed 10 out of 10 times if you just keep grinding and reevaluating!

Fraudsters and shady approaches pass the hard initial "wall" easier, true, but those are rare because even if you cheat here and there you still need to back up what you do with actual skill eventually. Don't be afraid to dip your toe here and there in the corporate machiavellianism tho. You would be fool not to.
