It also depends heavily on what kind of role you're applying for. If you're applying as a product manager, then sure, present your big audacious vision on how you're going to transform XYZ widget. Even if they don't actually do it, it's a good way to showcase your capabilities.
But if you're applying as a software engineer? What exactly are you going to present then? Nobody wants to work with a guy who's never seen the code base, but wants to rewrite the whole thing in Rust.
- ryanbrunner 8y agoYou don't necessarily need to present a vision for the specific things you can do for the company, but you can take the initiative and present why your specific set of skills will be well suited for the company in question. I do agree that you need to be careful with this - many companies will want to put you through "their process", and attempting to take control of the conversation when it's not welcome will tank your chances at a position, but I do think it's worthwhile to try.
