Some of these firms realize they need to renovate their IT
but they attempt to do this through hiring “Digital
Transformation” roles which do little but frustrate the
revolving door of hires because they have no executive buy-
in and budget.
This kind of thing makes it easier for me to hire. My org swallowed the risk and moved our production infrastructure entirely to k8s. I've no expectation that I'm going to be able to hire engineers with years of experience with that, but my team has already cultivated those skills. Aside from all the benefits and pains of being on k8s has, it makes it easy to attract great engineers with lots of related experience looking to leave a company where they've heard they need to adopt something and fail to put the resources behind it.
