"Your goal, as a hiring manager, is to find the people who want to invest in their careers, who are aiming for mastery and not just looking to make more money or build a shiny resume."
Why are these two concepts mutually exclusive? Experience, money, and mastery are just a few of the side effects of a successful career.
- MadManE 11y agoI think the point is that people who are looking exclusively for money or shine will make poor employees. If someone is looking to be a master, the others will naturally follow.
- tomjen3 11y agoYeah, that made me see red. Just money? Money is food in my mouth, money is attention from a qualified doctor in a good hospital when I get ill, money is a good place to live in a nice and safe area, with heating that turns on in the winter, money is a car that starts when you turn the key, with a tank full of gas. Money is fucking important.
- Eridrus 11y agoIn the context of software engineering in silicon valley, money isn't the difference between being able to afford a car that starts or not, it's mostly about how much money you have sloshing around in a rainy day fund.
- tomjen3 11y agoOkay lets change it then: more money is how long you can do without a job and still have all those things.
