> A project that was supposed to take 6 months didn't even have a line of code written in those first months for want of some technical roles to be filled. If that's the pace of the project, then the project was never important in the first place. I've read plenty of job descriptions' sections for qualifications, and they're out of touch with reality. Many orgs want unicorn employees (e.g. 5 years in machine learning, 3 programming languages, also PM experience and SQL, and must have comp-sci degree of course) and are barely willing to pay market rates for it. It's unclear to me if they're actually serious about work needing to be done. They're certainly unwilling to train non-perfect-fit employees and/or let someone competent post a job ad that's realistic.
