In "The Devil Wears Prada" aren't the employees all entry-level, trying to break into a competitive industry?
This application is confusing because they're demanding several years of professional experience on a large-scale website deployment for a job that would be most appealing to someone who didn't have that yet.
- dccoolgai 13y agoI can't believe someone else on HN saw "Prada"... but yeah, from what I can remember. The other thing, though, was that the employees were willing to put up with a lot of BS just because of the cultural cachet of that magazine where they worked. I'm saying that same kind of cachet that PA has is why someone who is way overqualified would want to work there for peanuts...now mind you, I'm not saying it's a good idea or that I would do it (although after years of web dev and support, I would be eminently qualified) - but I would wager they get swamped with qualified candidates just because they are who they are.
- dragonwriter 13y agoPedantic, perhaps, but the word you are looking for is "cachet", not "cache". They have very different meanings.
- dccoolgai 13y agoCorrect. Thank you for catching the typo.
