If you're bright enough to be useful where there's this shortage, you're bright enough to see how much those jobs suck.
"We need more suckers willing to do incredible hard things for little reward beyond the work of doing them. while the management and their consultants reap millions in ongoing profits for bringing a diluted, not-quite-good-enough version of that work to market"
edit to add: These jobs are often at places founded by "genius motivated by love", but now its the second generation or more on from that. the management wants that kind of success but they want it on their schedule (gotta make the quarterlies). they want it without the risk of failure and need for multiple attempts and extended effort, which made the original company work as much as the genius, but no one recalls that part now. they want meetings and reports and rigidly regulated routines more than they actually want the genius level output.

- ablatt89 4y agoHigher ups from these companies complain about lack of "high IQ" talent yet don't want to budge on offering competitive salaries. I have a smart friend who worked for ASML as a contractor, and they would give him empty promises of bringing him on full time, as if he still needed to prove himself despite being over qualified. Complete clownshow from these upper managers. If workers aren't entitled to a job, you're not entitled to high IQ talent, dumbasses!
