Are Group Opportunities a Thing in Tech Hiring?
In my 15 years of working, I’ve often seen discussions on the importance of building great teams, but what about teams that stick together across opportunities? Over time, a core group of us has naturally formed—one of those groups that tends to move from job to job together. Started with two 15 years ago but we're up to about four or five with the last two missions. We're just people that work very well together and have found a great rhythm. We’ve taken on a big challenge/stepped into a obvious trap a few years ago: transforming a more traditional company into a tech company.
I’ve decided it’s time to at least start looking at some opportunities, but there’s nothing on the horizon in my network at the moment.
What strikes me as curious is that while recruitment and opportunities is a normal subject on platforms like Hacker News, I don't think I've ever seen discussions or even comments about entire teams looking to move together. I also don't know any other groups larger than maybe two co-founders that constantly move together.
Aside from the obvious scenario of acquisition, is this just not a thing? Does anyone have experience with group opportunities, or is it simply too custom, or even not feasible for most?
