The traditional argument against hiring senior people in a young company is usually a mistake because cash is precious and senior people are usually too expensive to fully utilize since at a startup everyone ends up having to do bitch work anyways, so it might as well be cheaper hands doing it.
Senior people aren't always old.. this has nothing to do with age discrimination
- semerda 10y ago"Senior people" is an age reference. "Senior role" is a reference to the actual position. Maybe semantics. If I have to pay say 2x junior rate for 1 senior role that can move/execute faster than 2+ juniors, then I will. Apart from having someone that hits the ground running I'm also sending a strong business message to the market and investors that I can bring in top hires to execute faster than the shop down the road that's still learning business fundamentals.
