What I like:
I like the confidence techies show during interviews. Confidence could be related to work. I also like it when they ask about their role in the company and their career growth path. Techies are very clear about their career when they ask, “how far I am going in this company.” It shows how well they are prepared about their career. It is these people who go a great length in understanding the company and challenges it offers.
Recently we were hiring trainees. There was this guy, a first—class computer science graduate from not a great engineering college of Pune. We told him clearly, the job is only for three months and if we like his work we will take him permanently. But I was impressed when he asked about his career growth path and what would be his vertical and lateral growth in the organization in the next few years. How the role was going to add value to his qualification and profession.
