Any other wagies here that have noticed an alarming trend in who gets hired and promoted in the good jobs (i.e. positions with livable income and room for career development)?

I was just browsing through LinkedIn and noticed how there are so many conventionally good looking people with job titles such as "Account Manager", "<whatever> Supervisor", etc., even in technical fields. The women look like Stacies and the men look like Chads, for lack of a better description. They're either pretty or dominant looking, and its clearly not representative of fair hiring, all else being equal.

Judging by the over-representation of attractive people in these positions, you'd think that less attractive people simply aren't as intelligent or don't try as hard, or some nonsense such as that.

As for me, i'm a balding, scrawny manlet with glasses and a babyface, and it has been BRUTAL trying to claw my way into remotely livable salary in the corporate world (working in computer science field); i get bullied at work, never get praise or raises (despite objectively good work), and basically have to job hop every 1.5 years or so before getting pushed out of the company.

I just need to commiserate about this to someone. Here's a relevant article as well
