Sure, and sales people don't understand why the entire engineering function of the company can't be done on eLance for $10/hr.
We can talk about 10x developers all we like, but if you sit in a sales meeting of many companies you'll find there are 10x sales people whose presence is easily measured.
- tensor 9y agoThere may or may not be 10x employees in either camp, though I don't quite see what that has to do with the income difference. Should a 10x salesperson earn three times what a 10x developer earns? If so why?
- peteretep 9y agoManagement can easily recognize who the 10x sales people are, where 10x developers may be a myth.
- k__ 9y agoI think hiring sales is much more of a lottery than hiring engineers.
