Yet, the people who pass the grueling gauntlet will still be dumped on a fringe feature team with a first- or second-time engineering manager within 2 years of your age, and a PM that's fresh out of college (or worse, just finished MBA) who is spending 100% of their time learning how to use Jira instead of how to build product.

- octoboto 7y agoThis new trend of hiring PMs straight out of college seems like insanity to me

- runawaybottle 7y agoOh this trend. I sit next to a recruiter at a large company that literally vets college grads all day for PM and scrum master positions. Like people with zero experience dealing with deadlines, requirements, resource management, time management, release cycle experience. Oh, and I’ll just leave off ‘software development’ experience from that list too, since they also all come from non coding backgrounds. What’s the rationale behind this one, anyone got anything? I’m stumped.
- mattrp 7y agoThat’s what I don’t get - they spend so much time hiring for these narrow skill sets and then the guy next to you takes longer than five minutes to figure out Jira.
- Aeolun 7y agoGenerally I don’t think it’s the engineering team that delays the project.
