GP is asking how is he able to land multiple jobs in the first place when they can’t even land one.

Office politics comes after you land a job so it doesn’t explain why he was so successful at getting multiple offers.

I’ve seen claims on Twitter that he used multiple tactics:

1. Good ol’ cold emails;

2.Using a recruiter for warm intros

3. Applying like everyone else but with a resume that is full of fabrications.

A common thread in many of his victim companies: he targeted mostly (YC) startups eager to hire (AI) engineers quickly so they can scale.

You think? I'm extending the term to actually getting a job in "traditional" organizations. You already have to optimize for keywords etc, don't you? It's not human interaction but a "process".

But they got an "AI" engineer didn't they? Or no one in management could define what an "AI" engineer is?

Tbh I'd give the guy a high paying job, but in marketing.
