A good reminder that 'tech' is more than the people sitting in front of screens [mis]mashing code together. It seems odd that the same code/infrastructure-y peculiarities of interviewing would get extended to marketing roles - why do you need a 5-person interview loop for things that revolve around communication and people skills? The only reason that those (awful) processes exist in the first place is because it's extremely difficult to judge a candidate's technical skills in a broad swath of concepts and technologies with limited time. But what sort of businessing doesn't require marketers? Is that sort of thing not reasonably figured out? The author's last contracting stint also smells sort of like the 'gig economy'. Sort of like how nowhere hires janitors anymore - the company which owns the building contracts services like that out to another firm which rarely offers full employment. Back to the 'rat race', eh?
