This week’s episode was sparked by a recent TechCrunch article https://techcrunch.com/2022/02/01/free-agent-series-a/ asking whether tech workers should have agents to negotiate their salaries. We took up the debate on this and a few adjacent topics including:The Great Resignation’s impact on working habitsShould security practitioners and leaders be represented by “agents” to negotiate better compensation for roles? What are the ways that formal agents exacerbate bias and increase the gaps between levels?The importance of networks for getting advice to help you be your own “agent”Is it the Great Resignation or the Great Realisation?How do ethics and values play into staff’s desire to go to or stay at a company?At different levels in one’s career who can help be your agent of change?
