I wish my Googling skills were stronger, but alas, they are not.

I remember one of the other key takeaways was that the manager role was treated more favorably--specifically that they apologized they could only offer some (reasonable) amount of relocation assistance while none was even offered in the developer role. It was theorized that managers were seen as an "in group" among other managers, but that was obviously just speculation.

I wasn't on HN at the time, so I can't confirm it was here. It was one of those blog posts / write-ups that made the rounds.




I think it was a blog post by Michael O Church, though I don't have the reference to hand.



That's the one! Thank you so much.


I would think it isn't that managers are an in-group but are peers, even if a manager helps hire another manager that hire can be a potential problem for them if they feel slighted, but if the developer feels slighted - well the developer is subservient, not a peer.
