As a hiring manager, the only concern I'd have is whether you can work effectively on a team. If you can demonstrate that you can, then it's not really an issue.
- bigiain 16y agoThere's an important distinction. It almost certainly won't matter to the right kind of hiring manager at the rig kind of company. It will 100% matter to just about any recruiter. Many vacancies only path to an interview with a hiring manager is via a recruiter - if you want any of those jobs, you've got a big hurdle to overcome. But I'm guessing you don't want those jobs anyway (well, except perhaps that mythical 2004 Google offer...)
- OstiaAntica 16y agoI do think it is a fair concern for any hiring manager. The qualities that make entrepreneurs successful also potentially make them unmanageable or unable to take mid-level assignments in larger organizations. I've also interviewed entrepreneurs and the other side of the coin is a concern that they want to return to an organization because they are burned out. Finally is the fear that you will work there for a short period, understand the business, and raid staff and launch a competitor.
