A little bit of both. If you've been impactful with a set of tools we never use, that's not super helpful for us. But if you know a lot of tools and haven't been able to prove any impact, that's not great either.
In my last interview, they very much focused on the impact. Tech stack wasn’t really a part of the conversation. Now, whether that was because the person themselves wasn’t very technical might have been the reason.
