Note: - There are many small and medium s<strong>of</strong>tware companies which do not follow this<br />

hierarchy and they have there own ADHOC way <strong>of</strong> def<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g posi<strong>tion</strong>s <strong>in</strong> the company.<br />

So why there is a need <strong>of</strong> hierarchy <strong>in</strong> an <strong><strong>in</strong>terview</strong>?<br />

“Interview is a contract between the employer and candidate to achieve specific goals.”<br />

So employer is look<strong>in</strong>g for a suitable candidate and candidate for a better career. Normally<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong><strong>in</strong>terview</strong>s the employer is very clear about what type <strong>of</strong> candidate he is look<strong>in</strong>g for.<br />

But 90% times the candidate is not clear about the posi<strong>tion</strong>s he is look<strong>in</strong>g for.<br />

How many times has it happened <strong>with</strong> you that you have given a whole <strong><strong>in</strong>terview</strong> and<br />

when you men<strong>tion</strong>ed the posi<strong>tion</strong> you are look<strong>in</strong>g for...pat comes the answer we do not<br />

have any requirements for this posi<strong>tion</strong>. So be clarified about the posi<strong>tion</strong> right when you<br />

start the <strong><strong>in</strong>terview</strong>.<br />

Follow<strong>in</strong>g are the number <strong>of</strong> years <strong>of</strong> experience accord<strong>in</strong>g to posi<strong>tion</strong>.<br />

√ Junior eng<strong>in</strong>eers are especially fresher and work under s<strong>of</strong>tware eng<strong>in</strong>eers.<br />

√ S<strong>of</strong>tware eng<strong>in</strong>eers have around 1 to 2 years <strong>of</strong> experience. Interviewer expects<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware eng<strong>in</strong>eers to have know how <strong>of</strong> how to code ADO.NET <strong>with</strong> SQL Server.<br />

√ Senior S<strong>of</strong>tware Eng<strong>in</strong>eers have around 2 to 4 years <strong>of</strong> experience. Interviewer<br />

expect them to be technically very strong.<br />

√ Project leads should handle majority technical aspect <strong>of</strong> project and should have<br />

around 4 to 8 years <strong>of</strong> experience. They are also actively <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> to def<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />

architect <strong>of</strong> the project. Interviewer expects them to be technically strong plus should<br />

have managerial skills.<br />

√ Project Managers are expected to be around 40% technically strong and should have<br />

experience above 10 years plus. But they are more <strong><strong>in</strong>terview</strong>ed from aspect <strong>of</strong> project<br />

management, client <strong>in</strong>terac<strong>tion</strong>, people management, proposal prepara<strong>tion</strong> etc.<br />

√ Pure DBA’s do not come <strong>in</strong> hierarchy as such <strong>in</strong> pure development projects. They do<br />

report to the project managers or project leads but they are ma<strong>in</strong>ly across the hierarchy<br />

help<strong>in</strong>g every one <strong>in</strong> a project. In small companies s<strong>of</strong>tware developers can also act<br />

as DBA’s depend<strong>in</strong>g on companies policy. Pure DBA’s have normally around 6 and<br />

above years <strong>of</strong> experience <strong>in</strong> that particular database product.<br />
