.NET Interview Questions 4 th Edition By Shivprasad ... - A2Z Dotnet

Figure :- 0.2 IT Company hierarchy
It’s very important during interview to be clear about what position you are targeting. Depending
on what positions you are targeting the interviewer shoots you questions. Example if you are
looking for a project manager position you will be asked around 20% technical questions and
80% management.
Note: - In small scale software house and mid scale software companies
there are chances where they expect a PM to be very much technical. But
in big software houses the situations are very much different,
interview are conducted according to positions.... Unless the
interviewer changes the rule.
Above is a figure of a general hierarchy across most IT companies.
Note: - There are many small and medium software companies which do not
follow this hierarchy and they have there own adhoc way of defining
positions in the company.
So why is the need of hierarchy in a interview.
“Interview is a contract between the employer and candidate to achieve specific goals.”
So employer is looking for a suitable candidate and candidate looks for a better career. Normally
in interviews, the employer is very clear about what type of candidate he is looking for. However,
90% times the candidate is not clear about the positions he is looking for.
How many times it has happened with you that you have given a whole interview and when you
mentioned the position you are looking for...pat comes the answer, “ we do not have any
requirements for this position”. So be clarified about the position right from when you start the
interview.
Following are the number of years of experience according to position.
• Junior engineers are especially freshers and work under software engineers.
• Software engineers have around 1 to 2 years of experience. Interviewer expects software
engineers to be technically at a medium level.
• Senior Software Engineers have around 2 to 4 years of experience. Interviewer expects
them to technically be very strong.
• Project leads should handle majority technical aspect of project and should have around 4
to 8 years of experience. They are also indirect architect of the project. Interviewer
expects them to be technically strong so that they can drive the architecture part of the
project. Interviewer also expects them to have people management skills.
• Project Manager are expected to be around 40% technically strong and should have
experience above 10 years plus. But they are more interviewed from aspect of
project management, client interaction, people management, proposal preparation etc.
So now judge where you stand, and where you want to go..........
