<p><pre><code> As you advance in any career, jobs become more and more similar. There is a huge difference between a janitor, a dentist and a marketer, but the manager overseeing the janitors, dentists and marketers have a lot more in common. The VPs in charge of the managers of janitors, dentists and marketers have even more in common. </code></pre> This is the kind of thought process that leads to incompetent leadership of technical people, by non-technical ones, with disastrous consequences.

&gt;This last section is a little too sensitive for public consumption. If you would like to read it, just submit your email and I will send you the content about negotiations.<p>This is how little respect this author has for your intelligence. Subscribe to my newsletter to get the super secret last bit of my article.<p>I was willing to give this guy the benefit of the doubt for most of the article. Never mind that it&#x27;s incredibly banal, obvious advice from someone who followed a career that almost perfectly describes my idea of someone who doesn&#x27;t really do anything.<p>His description of the interview process is hilarious, because the interviews are so transparently uninterested in finding out about any concrete skills the employee has.

Reading the article he is not currently getting $1M in annual compensation. He is promoting his blog and book.

Be really, really good at something extremely rare and extremely valuable, while knowing how valuable that makes you.<p>Do I get a prize?
