( Try this at home... )
I had the uncomfortable experience yesterday of interviewing a gentleman who got his PhD from MIT three years before I entered as a freshman, and still was utterly unqualified for the job. He did a good job of convincing me he really would be happy in a software engineering position (rather than research with coding on the side, his usual thing), but Big Daddy is sure he was lying and basically making a grab for the money. He would have been a senior software engineer, so I'm sure the Frog is offering enough to bring the posers out of the woodwork, but it still disturbs me. It's important to discuss the topic of whether someone's going to be happy in a position. So how to avoid being lied to? I guess some proof really can be found in the level of expertise, at least by the time someone's been in or near a field for 20+ years.
Well, I woke up early and I have a ton of stuff to do, so I guess I'll head in. I'm wearing my Tevas for the first time this spring... a definite positive mark on the day. :)
