I consciously thought of LW and applied the outside view in a job interview at a famously selective company when asked how confident I was of my correctness on a question. I gave a much lower answer than I otherwise would have. I got an offer. In the meeting where they explained the offer, my ability to realize what I don’t know was cited explicitly as a key positive. I took the job, it being my best offer at the time.
Good! This is an interesting different case. Instead of a connection with or through another person in the wider LW community, LW helped you make a business connection—got you a job—by helping you through the interview.
