Worthwhile read. The company was an important nexus of the infosec industry at the time. But also take it with a grain of salt: some of the connections and claims feel a bit tenuous:https://www.wired.com/story/cult-of-the-dead-cow-at-stake-hackers-excerpt/ …

As to "why": don't know. They were a consulting company, I was a young Polish guy on on a visa. Maybe I said something stupid in the interviews. Maybe they didn't want a guy who had a strong accent and couldn't get a clearance.

Either way, like many of my colleagues from that era, I went on to do many of the same things as the people listed in the article. The company was one of a handful of reputable infosec workplaces back in the day, but I don't think it a magical gateway to success.

...and so, I suspect that simply being born in the 70s or 80s, and picking up some interest in infosec in the 90s, was a far better predictor of success

Frankly that's exactly what happened (if you squint a little). You instead joined Google, took security to a place where it had never reached before and reshaped the industry of how companies could think about the data they collect and daresay are doing ok in your career :-)

Heh, I interviewed there probably a year or so before that and also wasn't hired.
