Congratulations on your apparent luck in only working with groups where you did have some semblance of 'culture fit'.
My experience has clearly been different than your own.
I can't speak to whether it's a bigger issue in other industries, but it's a sufficient issue for me personally that I've turned down jobs based on it.
- duck 17y agoI would agree that culture is important for any line of work. Sure, skills matter more in certain industries, but I don't think this is a replacement for that, but rather an additional step to start from. I think this is a great idea (and it seems like this was talked about a before on HN a couple times) IF the actual manager of the position is the one who is attending. If I could meet 20 potential managers in an hour I know there would be a couple that I would really want to work for and a lot more that I wouldn't want to.
