I think the dividing line here has nothing to do with tech or startups, and merely jobs where the employee supply is short of the employer demand. Or, higher quality workers generating multiples more revenue. It’s true that if you’re not in a role where you have the ability to massively swing revenue for a business, you’re not going to receive the same offers. However, there are tons of opportunities out there beyond tech, people just need to want to go after them. All that being said, situations are way different for traditional blue collar jobs and I get that. I wish my mom, who does not have a college degree, had the same negotiating power that I do, but she doesn’t. So, I help her out as best I can (she’ll probably live off and on with me for the rest of her life- 20 to 30 years). Life across the globe comes with spectrums of challenges. While not comparable to lack of potable water, knowing the right questions to ask in a startup interview is still a challenge none the less.
