Pretty arrogant to think that just because you're an easy hire that you're "the smartest guy in the room."
If you had joined Facebook in 2005 you might have been the best programmer, but you would not have been the smartest guy in the room.
- nostrademons 15y agoI thought my point was that this is highly dependent upon the organization that you're joining. There are plenty of startups and small businesses where I would be the smartest guy in the room. There are also plenty where I would not. My point is that I'm far more likely to be an easy hire at the former category than at the latter category. If one wishes to work in the latter category, choose appropriately.
