And finance people. Like, when I worked for a FAANG we found it hard to get senior people as the company wouldn't benchmark against finance companies, thus no-one would work for them.
Additionally, the late hours necessary in a satellite office don't map well to senior+ people, as they will often have families and children.
- dukeyukey 6y agoHah, my first job out of uni had this problem. We were the UK office of a medium-sized Seattle-headquartered tech company. One of our department heads got a job at a fintech not long after I left, and gradually poached the rest of his team. Despite the salary raise being like 70%, the company refused to benchmark against them, because the were Central London, and we were Outer London. I ended up jumping ship a couple of years later to that fintech, that 70% raise was lovely.
