      Not in the same way… which is the issue.

      It’s a skilled profession, so ideally you want someone who is more skilled, and the person who has interest is more skilled.

      It works similarly with other skilled professions like carpenters.

        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.

      But one you can underpay and abuse because they are excited. The other has a lot better idea of what they’ll accept and will leave when it’s not worth it anymore.
