Move Over Hollywood Superstars, Programmers Have Arrived!

Amazing developers can get amazing perks at their jobs. Apparently, companies are even hiring people to manage these perks.

In the fight for tech talent, a company called 10x Management has taken a novel approach. They are a talent agency that represents some of the most talented technology professionals in the world. They operate somewhat similarly to agents for musicians and actors; they negotiate contracts and scopes of projects for their clients. One of the managing partners co-founded Brick Wall Management, an entertainment consulting and talent management firm that has represented Vanessa Carlton and John Mayer.

Doesn't coding seem so much cooler now? Someone who represented famous entertainers wants to represent tech talent as well!

An article in The New Yorker discusses 10x Management in further detail.

Thanks for reading!
