What the employer wants? You could give the employer everything they want for years and welcome yourself as outdated and underskilled for any other job. The employee needs to look out for what is best for the employee’s life. That only moderately aligns with what is best for the employer — often they are opposed. Jobs don’t typically last 35 years with the same company anymore. Skills need to be enhanced beyond what the current employer needs. Side project freedom gives you the power to pick any skills you want to enhance and run with it.
