Things I value in a Software Engineer

<p>While it&rsquo;s true that sharp technical skill is in high demand, there are other things that I appreciate which are in equally high demand. If you possess even half of these then consider yourself ahead of at least 80% of your peers. Feel free to add these to how you approach interviews!</p> <h2>1. You complete your work on time</h2> <p>The ultimate measure of your value is whether or not you can do your job. It all really comes down to this. Are you getting it done? Do I have to constantly check-in on you and ask why something isn&rsquo;t finished yet?</p> <p>Not a good look.</p> <p>Completing your work will solve 99% of any problems that you may have.</p> <h2>2. You reach out when you need something, to who you need to reach out to</h2> <p>When you encounter an issue or get stuck, you reach out to the right person to unstick yourself. You don&rsquo;t go idle until the next standup and lament at how you couldn&rsquo;t get help or figure out how to move forward.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@mike.s.chambers/things-i-value-in-a-software-engineer-3416a2b01b8f"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
