I have intentionally not applied to startups. I want to work for an organization with some staying power and not the 'flavor of the week'. With a wife & 2 kids, the risk of working somewhere that may go belly up in 3yrs becomes a huge factor when applying.

I understand! But yes, there's a definitive gap in the applications vs interview calls and how the applicants are picked up for interviews in general.
