Please tell anyone that is overqualified at their current job to contact me, about everyone in my company in IT is underqualified, many times incompetent because we don't compete on salaries with the FAANG companies paying 3-5x more.
I'm talking overqualified on paper---in terms of education and other credentials. Absolutely this doesn't translate into the brilliant coworkers everyone here moans about not having, but that that's due to a bunch of systemic things:
If:
- Jobs were less pointless
- School reward system wasn't all screwed up
- Jobs required more skills
People would be "smarter". Without that, of course y'all gonna feel like you're surrounded by smug idiots.

Downward spiral, the people who get stuff done get babied to death and decide to change jobs, the ones who are just along for the ride stay. Wash and repeat 3-4 times and you end up with a dysfunctional company.
