In an interview, is it better to be a culture fit, or to have strong technical skill?
Another great question in Disord. This question was asking my perspective, as a hiring manager, whether it was better to be more likeable in an interview, or to have technical skill. There's definitely a balance, but also depends on the role and what you're expected to know. I share a story about my interviews at Yahoo a long time ago (2007, I had to look it up!)
