Most of this is good except for the: don't use rockstar and other terminology. I don't behave like a rockstar but I often look for that as an indicator to apply since at least I know that I would be valued there. It's not so important to use it, but if you are truly looking for a guru (and most other people have failed the technical requirements so far) then it doesn't hurt to post it.
- bluehat 16y agoI think it does hurt. Especially in startups when you'll be working absurd numbers of hours and spending an incredible amount of time with these people I'd prefer the slightly-less-talented-but-very-good to the absurdly-brilliant-but-completely-intolerable. I definitely glaze over the word "rockstar" at best. Besides, I would think it goes without saying that anywhere I'd seriously consider working would expect all their employees to be damn good at what they do.
- JerryH 16y agoAgreed, I actively avoid people who thing they are as it's synonymous with "arrogant twat" and getting things done is about team work, not prima donnas.
