What defines a tech company?
Our guest Vivek Ravisankar, CEO and Co-Founder of HackerRank, talks about the ever changing presence tech has in all industries. The definition of a tech company used to be an easy question to answer a few years back with the likes of Google and whatnot, but it seems like every single industry needs tech to get ahead now.
There has been a massive amount of innovation across all industries in the last generation, that much is obvious. Thankfully the interview process has changed as well too, since back in the early days of software engineering, code was written down on a piece of paper, or a white board, or occasionally shared over the phone. How was that ever a solution?
Those nuanced interview questions of the past are behind us. No longer should your software recruiter be asking you "how many golf balls can fit into a Boeing 747" they should be asking you real world questions that emulate your job as much as possible. That's the goal: to eventually not have to worry about your resume, your "abstract problem solving skills," or other nuanced things.
If you can do your job well and fit into the company culture, what else really matters?
