Talent has not gotten less expensive in the intervening years, not by a lot. Companies don't seem to be doing a good job of even looking for those people. We're all careful to tell our recruiters not to call each other's staff like it. And i'm seeing people with three years of experience being offered a hundred and 50 grand a year.
We try not to navel gaze too much on this show, but our 200th episode felt like just enough of a milestone that we could do a mid-year "look back, look forward" show with a 7-year range. And we tracked down our original Commonwealth representative to join us for that discussion. Did we (first) party (cookie) like it was 1999? Maybe not, but that's the sort of reference you get with Jim Cain, the founder of Napkyn Analytics, and a co-founder of this very podcast!
