Comment on Ask HN: Why do managers get paid more than individual contributors?parent

Comments

Except that many managers are hired externally.

In that case, I would guess either still nepotism or just incompetence.

A lot of people will hire people from their college networks or whatever it may be. If they're hiring managers blindly based on some alleged track record, then they're just downright incompetent or taking a risk that has low odds of working well for the team :)
