How would you define success for a computer network architect?

"Every organization I have ever worked for has standards and goals for the computer network architecture team, I go above these and set my own goals. The rationale behind this is that if I achieve my goals, I've exceeded the organization's goals. Even when I fall short, I am still likely to achieve the expected goals. Specific metrics I used to measure success include network uptime, adhering to the company's IT budget, and completing my projects on time. I'm also interested in the level of technology I'm using and if it is keeping up with industry standards."

When discussing your goals, make sure they are SMART, meaning that they are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. Providing an answer that describes you as challenging yourself and being passionate about achieving your goals will impress the interviewer and make it more likely they will offer you the job.
