The thing about experience

Manute Bol and Gheorghe Mureșan were 7’6” and 7’7”, but were pretty bad players in the NBA. It takes more than height to play basketball.

When it comes to hiring plan providers, years of experience can be as important as height in basketball, because I’ve known plenty of plan providers with 20-plus years of experience who were terrible in their jobs. I’ve known plan administrators with a handful of years of experience, who were excellent.

In the end, years of experience are like any number. Not always is that it’s a measure of competence and excellence.
