Thanks for reading the article and your interesting comments, btw. Yeah, I got to agree with you that the financial dimension exists in making decisions on career development. Particularly, in Indonesia, where that kind of service is offered in-house. People usually don't buy the service outside their company.
But, the situation comes with a dilemma, I think. People tend to assume that what they have is sufficient for their job. In some cases, that's right. Some, not. Perhaps this is a starting point of the talent gap and it grows bigger to be something complex.
You know, something like no money means no professional development. No professional development means not qualified. Not qualified means not hired. Not hired means no money. The vicious circle. If it's too late, I think it will be hard to break the circle.
