No. Unless it's her passion, but I'm not going to encourage her specifically in this direction. I want to invest equally (as much as I can) in other STEM, in art, in sports. Maybe she'll be a playwright? Or an athlete? Or a s

Interviews are prediction machine that answer the question “will the candidate be successful (technical, design, soft skills, team integration…) in the role over time. The prediction is made with an extremely small sample, a few hours at mo
