Small startups can't afford to have junior talent.
- wolco2 6y agoSmall startups use junior talent for most services. They are not hiring the best hr team, marketing, sales and development. They don't have unless amount of money. They will pick one or two areas where they have an advantage and hire a strong person or two.
- busterarm 6y agoI think we have wildly different expectations of the scale of "small startups". If you can afford to full-time hire an entire hr team, an entire marketing team, an entire sales team and an entire engineering org, then you're able to pay an AWS bill.
- wolco2 6y agoMaybe not after paying that team. Small startups have less than 2 million and usually a 16-24 cash or bust cycle. If they are hiring teams of people they are not a small startup. If you are not bring in more cash than your aws bill that's a problem.
- ClumsyPilot 6y agoSome organisations seem plain unwilling to pay that kind of money. So they pay far more for the mess/waste/damage, but that somehow doesn't matter to them. Not just startups, some big corporates too.
