it's usually a mix of things.
first, while you may be drawn to that type of work, not everyone is. some people really enjoy the work they do in other parts of the company.
second, if you're drawn to it, you need to identify the path to it and the needed qualifications. if you don't make the cut, then you know why.
that keeps it from being an exclusive "clique" with no obvious merit-based way in, which helps keep the resentment others may feel (that you bring up) down.
- seiji 13y agosecond, if you're drawn to it, you need to identify the path to it and the needed qualifications. if you don't make the cut, then you know why. That's a very Big Corp way of thinking. We don't believe in that. Nobody here starts off in the mailroom and works their way up to CEO in 30 years. You start off as a CEO at 21, say to hell with "experience" and "qualifications" — I'll just learn by doing and figure it out as we go along. Not enough companies have a "learn by doing" on-boarding mentality. Nobody knows what they're doing without the chance to actually do it. (the worst programmers tend to be fresh CS graduates with no real world experience)
