I have established multiple companies, some of which have grown significantly with over 600 employees. For quite some time, I've transitioned from development and mainly held executive roles such as CEO, Chairman, etc. Simultaneously, it's intriguing to note that I've mostly been unsuccessful in securing 'normal' jobs through interviews in the past (Google, McKinsey, Bain, Accenture etc).

I believe this poses a fascinating topic on the way people assess creativity and intelligence in general.

From my perspective, the crux of the issue lies in the inherent difficulty of accurately measuring creativity in comparison to quick problem-solving skills during job interviews. Consequently, it seems that corporations tend to favor the latter.
