    I’ve been in both industries. Hiring carpenters you’re hiring people who have qualifications and experience. The way it should be.

    You’re not trying to make the carpenters calculate the roofing truss cuts through convoluted 3 days of interviews.

    I believe Tech hiring is more about ego of the hiring managers and team more than it is about hiring qualified people.

      I’ve never been on a team or seen a team where this was the case. We just wanted people who could do the job well, and they were hard to find.

      I actually don’t understand where manager/team ego ever fits in, as someone who hired a lot of bootcamp grads.
