Because they pay really well and the job is fun. I remember loving my job at living social. Work does not always need to be about some greater mission. Only reason I left is my startup - is doing rather well
- freshyill 11y agoNo doubt the work is challenging and the environment is fun. I'm just surprised the company's financial situation doesn't cause them to leave.
- potatolicious 11y agoPeople's motivations for staying at a company are pretty varied. That said, without attempting to ascribe anything to the people at LivingSocial, one thing I have noticed is that a large number - if not most - talented devs are also really shit at interviewing and negotiation. Myself and some others I know enjoy interviewing and are at least half-okay at negotiation, so we're very confident on the job market. I have met many developers who can code circles around me for whom interviewing carries a lot of dread, and they won't do it unless they feel they really need to.
