Thank you for sharing your opinion! I have a couple of question...
"I like to work with passionate people. These people keep improving themselves at incredible short amount of time. They are not satisfied with their current level and constantly seek out knowledge to grow." What makes you think that someone that consider this as a "normal job" (or at least, is closed to overtime) would not have the same opinion? ie perfecting themselves, reviewing their work to see if they could have done things better or not, ...
Have you compared the quality of code from a "normal job" person and a "passionate overtime" person?
You mean people who do not work overtime are also passionate? Absolutely. As I pointed out in my answer, using overtime as an indicator is flawed. However, it's kind of an easy to see, in your face "evidence" that sadly we still rely on. That's why I mentioned that you have to proactively prove yourself.
It should be clarified that when I said working overtime, it may not mean real work. It means spending the extra time either at the office or at home on work or work related knowledge. And yes those people generally have way better code quality and grow at very fast rate.
Thank you for clarifying!
I thought, initially, that overtime just meant = working on company projects after your working hours. I haven't considered that reading tech articles or such during your free time could be considered as extra work... Great point!
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
