That assumes two things:
- there is an ordering between jobs
- one’s goal is to find the “highest” according to that ordering
I don’t think that either of those is true in my value system.
- ghaff 5y agoIn fairness, for a lot of people, the ordering is "Who will pay me the most?"
- oreally 5y agoYea the SWE ego stroking shows quite a bit in anonymous settings. It's like they think they're doing valuable work only in the FAANGs.
- chrisseaton 5y ago1) I'm not anonymous am I - my user name is my real name. 2) I'm not at a FAANG.
- tkot 5y agoI think it's a pretty reasonable assumption, even if the ordering is strictly personal (some people would take a job with better work-life balance instead of the better paying one, some would make a different choice, same thing with technology stacks etc.). The second premise also seems to be true, though I would phrase it in a descriptive rather than prescriptive manners - the choices you make regarding job offers reveal your preferences ("the ordering of jobs"). Having no "job ordering" would result in people taking jobs based on a coin flip, wouldn't it?
