Other fields seem to get along just fine with the same set of constraints. Yes, some of those have professional licensure but not always, and those licenses aren't always required depending on the field. In the latter circumstances, the license unlocks higher level positions, it'd be like saying you couldn't be a Director of Engineering at a software shop w/o one.
- repolfx 7y agoDo they get along just fine? My experience of quite a lot of jobs has been that people, even managers, struggle to articulate what exactly they do, let alone what is required to do it well. If you can't clearly articulate that it's pretty meaningless to have any sort of rigorous hiring process to begin with. Maybe that sounds over cynical, but I've watched as people from outside the tech industry encountered the concept of asking people to actually do a work sample in an interview for the first time. They thought it was the most crazy demanding and professional thing they ever heard of and immediately came to regard the team that was hired through that process as incredibly elite. Very few professions really challenge candidates in any meaningful way.
