What do companies look for in a developer
summary
Compares hiring across countries and gives concrete recruiting rules: companies prefer clear simple CV aligned with LinkedIn and links to GitHub, expect candidates to have one strong tech stack rather than shallow breadth, and care about teamwork and adaptability over rock‑star lone wolves. Take‑home tests are judged on ability to explain approach over perfect code. Also notes relocation realities, common CV mistakes from India, and the importance of company research and specific examples of work.
