Its not meant to be a perfect analogy but to ellucidate why it may be more stressful than you might imagine. But in the spirit of good discussion: Lets compare someone who has 7 years of experience at Facebook, 500k in the bank, and strong interviewing skills with an inbox full of recruiter spam to someone interviewing for Facebook, who has no other interviews, and is currently poor and in debt. Are you so sure the person at facebook would be more stressed than the person applying?
