This article might of sounded a bit less of a "WHAM" if the real quote was put it:
Everyone thinks they're hiring the top 1% of developers currently on the market.
But still, valid point
- praptak 16y agoI think that it is still a delusion, even if you add the "currently on the market". The best people currently on the market won't probably bother sending you an application - they will probably just take advantage of their networks.
- bad_user 16y agoI don't consider myself to be in the top percent of anything; but I'm not even taking advantage of my network, it's the other way around - my network takes advantage of me :) I.e. every couple of months I receive a really good job offer (discounting the shitty ones), just because someone knows somebody who knows me. It's getting really hard to say NO too.
- praptak 16y agoCompanies do take advantage of their employees' networks. Some pay well for a successful referral.
