The last company I worked for interviewed some founder of a Czech IT agency for a lead dev position and his resume seemed awesome.
He worked over 15 years in IT, founded a company that had 10 employees etc.
But the first thing he said in the interview was "What job do you have? I only accept CTO"
whelp.
It was HE that would be taking the job -- so why not make sure it's the job he wanted in the first place?
If he was desperate for any job AND still said that, then he would be indeed self absorbed.
