Large teams are a non-monetary bonus/incentive for the managerial class. At a manager's prospective employer they'll be asked for and judged by their headcount, much like engineers are asked for their previous salary.
Large teams don't cause success. They require success to sustain their bloat.
- sokoloff 2y agoIn 2020, I interviewed at Google. One of the screening questions was my current team size. I had no idea (but had a system where I could look it up). I was under by a little more than a factor of 2, because I don’t care about my team size as a vanity metric, but I can confirm that recruiters are very interested in it.
