This business and these business people that you're taking very seriously all have no idea what they're doing. You'll understand this in about 5 years from now.

That's information to research/inquire about before the interview(s) & at interview(s) before accepting a position.

FWIW, the business I'm talking about was a fortune 500 with many well educated people. They still had no idea what they were doing.

I've worked for four businesses now and in that time I've seen a lot of people with no understanding of the software industry. Very well paid people.
