The same skills used in competitive programming are needed to pass a modern day technical interview at some of the larger companies. So I wouldn't necessarily say it has nothing to do with getting a better job or salary.
Shall we start a comprehensive list of skills and activities tangentially related to making more money?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
In the sense of "this article has nothing to do with jobs or salaries," I would rate the claim true. The article has not one mention of either. If you're trying to argue that improving your skillset makes you more employable, sure, but that's such a general statement that I'm not sure it holds up as a retort.
I think the GP means that problems solved in programming competitions are similar to what you'll find on some job interviews.

great stuff.read this,understand this and you'll get google offer for 350k per year.
Certainly some companies put all their faith in those type of demonstrations of skill, I grant you...I'm just wondering if you or others really believe you are "Google material" by that measure.
