\t\t\t\tOn the very last day of hiring I got a job application from someone who claimed to be a lead at nVidia. The interview went well and while he was a little hard to understand, I was really impressed by his motivation and his resume. So I gave it a shot, even though he was 3X more expensive than my other programmers.<\/p>\n
It turns out this was the best decision I’ve made so far for the company. He is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. I now have a resource to turn to ask about about India and Indian resumes and have a good feeling that even though I am not working, progress is still being made on the game.<\/p>\n
I can see now that my previous attempts to save money by hiring juniors may have been a mistake. 3X the cost but 10X the productivity is a good deal as far as I’m concerned. If I could do it again I would have skipped hiring juniors and had gotten 2 people with experience instead.<\/p>\n
I may have to restart the hiring process, which will delay the game by a month, but it’s better that than failing entirely. I asked the lead programmer if he knew anyone else as good as him looking for a job but unfortunately he didn’t.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
