Who are your "Advisors" ? Just other engineers?
- mallyvai 12y agoRight now, a pretty diverse mix of other engineers, managers, PMs, founders. Depends on who is asking - PMs are better at helping PMs, for example.
- alexanderss 12y agoOh, no actual recruiters or talent leaders? No way would I pay essentially a peer for something like this. That's what friends advise us for. You need inside info, and engineers and PMs just don't have it.
- mallyvai 12y agoI think you'd be surprised - we are informed by certain awesome recruiters, but we've found that people generally feel most comfortable when talking to their peers about this stuff. There's a broad mistrust around recruiters. One thing we could do is work with more recruiters more aggressively for data and guidance - ping them every conversation for example, instead of for larger industry trends. But we'll have to see if that could truly add value.
