JD vs Reality

A lot of expectations 

Fast-paced startup environments - deliver more but balance your WLB :)

• A Great balance of IQ, EQ, and Social Q. Reality - Say yes even when you have to say No

• Are you a top-of-the-line developer and architect yourself? Reality - Build all prototype whenever possible

• Hired, retained, and mentored for the individual growth of your team. Reality - Do your work and also be accountable for your work, 100% manager, 100% IC

• Are up to speed with the current productivity frontier on serving and data technologies. Reality - Individual work, Manager road, read about technology

• High autonomy; freedom to take risks, to experiment, and to fail. - Try 10 things, Fail 5, Pass 5

• Not a CAVEr: You are a person that people like to be around. You are not a CAVE (Constantly Against Virtually Everything) personality. Reality - Work Attitude vs Personal traits are different. No one who is paid will say no. It's more about how you solve and does this approach works fine.

• Say no to HiPPO: We want people who value everyone’s opinions & perspectives. We don’t want them to get overpowered by HiPPO (Highest Paid Person’s Opinion). Reality - Yes but do we actually follow, Easy to say :). Hiring the right experience who consolidates vs finds new perspectives both are different.

Keep Thinking!!!
