Well, you probably want to decrease response time but otherwise yes. It's good to give objective metrics for your accomplishments. Also helps to frame the interview. "I see here you improved the response time of an API by 15%, tell me about that".
- aksx 6y agoEven if your current employer let's you talk about specific numbers, without context they don't tell the recruiter anything. "The API latency was 10 seconds, now it's 8.5 seconds." or "I reduced the p99.9 latency from 1 sec to 400ms" (by removing input validation)
- treis 6y agoIf the best thing you did was take an API from 10 to 8.5 it's probably best to tell the recruiter as little as possible. Your second line is improvement for sure. But it follows the same basic advice to give numbers
