I hope you are doing well. Unfortunately the persons I had interviewed (don't worry of profiles, there are jobs available for them :-) ) were neither a high achiever or with exceptional capabilities. The point I was making was the attitude shown by individuals was not towards "grabbing the chance" and showing keenness to learn, unfortunately all that came out was overconfidence. Bye the way as I said the interviewees were non engineering graduates and some of them had very low percentage, which does not tell me they were high achievers :-) !!

Looking from one step back, I think ur HR's targeting is wrong to select such profiles. 2. May be the person is high achiever, other exceptional abilities. What was the context in which he was talking. Different companies have different acronyms associated to the designations. In many banks, fresher MBA will join as AVP. I thinking concluding from a single reason and blasting a poor chap is unfair in a world of huge diversity. Hi Swap

That is possible though when you have the right people to judge that :D Btw, would be nice to see your thoughts on how people can grow technically in an IT org. Maybe you can write something up to share your point of view. And yes, Sawan has always been very innovative :) @Swapnil

Its been an interesting experience taking these kind of interviews for me. Something that being at UK I lacked, while in TechMahindra. @Soumitra, Yes, we had some of them at TechM and they were brilliant. Its just matter of uncovering gems, but surely it takes long time to find one gem in the heap of garbage (no offense meant !) :-) @Sawan,
