I must say, I agree with you. We were recently in need of someone to do mostly grunt work. Sing up to programs, handle data imports, monitor ratios, swap out offers, get the best payouts. Obviously something we could train anyone with a bit of affiliate experience to do inside 2 weeks. Does it help if you know all the players, sure, but when you have traffic, programs are happy to talk to anyone hitting them up.
LONGtime program jumper (name we have for people who have just jumped from program to program as reps) wanted 150k, LOL
We hired a kid out of college. Working his ASS off, learning all he can. 60k base + bonus based on increased revenue on projects he manages. He could make 100-120 easy, but he's earning it by INCREASING our profits, not asking for it because he had every program already in his Skype list.
If you've been around a long time and not taken that experience to start your own sites and projects in a business where the barrier of entry is so low, you are in trouble
