Tier C · TL;DR
Job market is like Tinder: few options, many swipes, and desperation makes anything negotiable.

Claim

The job market is like Tinder — options kam hain, swipes zyada. People are so desperate for employment that even location and basic requirements become negotiable.

Mechanism

When supply of jobs is low and competition is high, candidates stop filtering and start applying indiscriminately, leading to absurd matches (like relocating to Jamaica without checking).
