> I think sometimes management is their own worst enemy in not taking a chance on their own people. I've seen it in start-ups where they are anxious about their own talent, and are somewhat desperate to 'level-up'. The mindset is like 'I married the first person I kissed, but I get the sense I could do way better now.' This often leads to overpaying for people who have had the director or VP title in a larger, but minor company, and being told by them that the solution is to hire 5 more people under them.
