Jesus Fernandez has over 18 years experience in development, delivery and production support. And more than 10 years in leadership roles.

But in this conversation we spoke about his experience being a candidate.

We discussed the disconnect between what companies say they want, and the candidates they actually engage with.

We spoke about role inflation.

And we give our views on why smaller companies are scared of hiring from the big boys.

Jesus talks about why eliminating layers of management can have ripple effects throughout the entire engineering team. Sometimes not felt for weeks or months later.

Losing layers of management is like losing the critical link that's holding everything in place.

Really interesting chat. Hope you like it.
