This sort of article makes me think of the "are software engineering salaries bimodal" article from a while back (danluu: https://danluu.com/bimodal-compensation/); primarily because it feels like advice for a different world.
I don't care if I don't get the job. Applying for jobs is like dating. If they don't want you, you didn't want it anyway. There will be other jobs.
Unless you set your entire life on working at Google or whatever and then fail. Then, sure, go and roll into a ball in the corner and cry.
That's a completely self-imposed situation, though. Setting appropriate expectations is key to happiness in life.
