I wonder how much talent is turned away at HR or decides to not even pursue for cultural reasons. The brightest I know are mostly in business for themselves. The only reason I want a job is to work on massive scale problems again, but being an SF city gardener would pay $65k plus benefits and I’d just do that if I weren’t on the hook paying for student loans for my CS degree. Cultural reasons being that IME across 5 jobs in SF that I am not welcome in the profitable tech scene (recent lawsuits and news are vindicating) and also it turns out a lot of people at the top have lied to get and stay there like the truth is a sickness which is antithetical to creative talent.
