I cannot overstate how important communication actually is. A huge bulk of what engineers do is communicate. Design docs, white boarding, tech talks, gathering requirements, challenging leadership, organizing a team, code reviews, peer feedback... Nearly everything engineers do requires communications skills.
Being able to connect with and clearly communicate to your interviewer will absolutely increase your chances.

- EdwardDiego 4y agoDefinitely agree. I've found interviewing via video call is absolutely terrible compared to in person. So damn hard to describe architecture without a whiteboard. And humans just seem to communicate better when you're in the same space.
- mronetwo 4y agoYeah that's something I have been thinking about a lot lately. Mainly because I notice how big part of this job is asking people to clarify what they mean. Explaining ideas clearly is extremely difficult. The ability to write in a logical, concise manner is incredibly important and quite rare... which is frustrating.
