1) I write side project.
2) I put side project technologies on my resume.
3) I put side project link on my resume.
4) I put my resume on LinkedIn.
5) I get a raise during my next performance review (or next job)
I write side projects when I want to try a new technology in order to integrate it into my flow. I don't make money from putting a couple of JS libraries and generating an automatic ping pong game from Bitcoin transactions (https://writecodeeveryday.github.io/projects/bitpong/ https://writecodeeveryday.github.io/projects/bitpong/) but I do get the experience on Websockets for clients.
- ryandvm 10y agoNothing beats a little LinkedIn profile polishing when it comes to passive salary renegotiation.
- AtheistOfFail 10y ago> passive salary renegotiation Is that what we call it now? I always called it "emoragequitting". Basically when stress + work > current_paycheck and you decide to shop around.
- make3 10y agoso, like, you let the "notify your contacts of your profile change" on? that makes sense, even if it's pretty brazen
- AtheistOfFail 10y agoDoesn't matter either way, the skills that I gained are mine and anyone needing those skills will be paying for them.
