hi, just for the record: I know a lot of PHBs that do not even know Werner Vogels and would not even start contemplating hiring him seeing expected salary figures. One must never forget, that the common misconception that our business does not value experience comes from the fact that most software systems just have to be "good enough"--therefore, the old "worse is better" approach applies here, too. Consequently, the types of PHBs I have in mind would gladly hire the 25 year old for their euphemism software (product|system|whatever).

Many startups are more interested in young people, even if they don't have all the necessary skills, because they can stay on the job 16h/day. While an experienced guy wouldn't do this. Also, startups don't have money to pay for talent, so unless you are a co-founder you won't get paid what you deserve.
