First of all, the author has a narrow definition of waste. Secondly, how many companies are there, total, that are good in the "greater good" sense, and how many of them use triplebyte and similar recruiters? To even claim that triplebyte has any effect whatsoever on "trickle down" to "greater good" companies, seems specious. The author himself did not go to any "greater good" company, he went to a 2nd or 3rd tier web hosting provider. No doubt, they had an extremely positive effect on this particular person's life, but let's not get crazy ... > The way credentials work (at least for fields like tech) seems broken. I'd disagree. In the US, and I suppose the entire western world, we live in an upwardly mobile society. Yes, yes it's not perfect and there are roadblocks, to be sure. But in general, you can learn enough tech on your own to get a job in government or education (where they can't afford to hire the best of the best), or maybe a local design firm, that kind of thing, and jump off from there. Please do elaborate on how you think tech credentials are broken. |
