Why is that? Is it because of low pay?
- Spooky23 8y agoGovernment style bureaucracy with MBA management culture, heavy risk management, and constant growth by acquisition. Some roles pay very well, but are inflexible and boring. I knew a guy making $180k as a contractor to be a storage engineer. His entire job was fulfilling SAN zoning requests. He ended up bootstrapping a startup just to stay sane.
- denimnerd 8y agoYeah there’s a thousand vice presidents at my location that make 160k which in TX is a high wage. they don’t have high productivity compared to a real tech company. it’s all manual bureaucratic work.
- Spooky23 8y agoI had a grand-uncle was a bank Vice President. His main responsibility was reading the obituaries of about 25 papers and making sure relatives didn’t open the safe deposit boxes before probate. Not sure of salary, but his schtick was 12 month leases of black Cadillacs, so it was pretty good. :)
- denimnerd 8y agovp is nothing at a bank but i guess it looks good on a resume lol
- denimnerd 8y agothey haven’t adopted silicon valley style hiring practices so a good resume is all that matters. interviews are a 10m HR screen and a 45 minutes interview by a hiring manager that hasn’t been in the ditches in 10 years. All my coworkers came from a staffing agency like Infosys or Accenture. Contract to hire. I think their resumes were all fake.
