Is it discrimination to hire someone you'd rather look at all day and possibly have drinks with after work? Just sayin, it happens BTW, I'm not condoning this situation, I think it is bad. But unfortunately, this is still a very real situation that does influence people's decisions.

This is why you have diversity in hiring to avoid this level of bias. Otherwise bros are going to hire bros.

(And if all the people who are interviewing you are younger than you probably aren't getting the job no matter how well you do)
