increasingly this is what hiring will look like.
longer cycles, higher bars, a desire for cross-disciplinary experts.
we just made our first sales hire.
early engineer at twitter, ex-founder, has closed millions in revenue.
one of the best engineers i worked with at apple knew him. this is what he said:
@benhylak I actually wonder if there's a premium being paid right now for cross-disciplinary experts. e.g. "high agency sales people who can code AND hustle"
...or if the bar just got raised without a premium being applied for drastically more valuable skills
@benhylak Dude is now heavy with the weight of expectations
@benhylak also congrats on your first sales person! I would argue one of the most significant milestones in the journey ;-)
