Hi Jean, I'm trying not to make this sound as a generic LinkedIn business advice, but get a better profile picture. Maybe a picture of you in front of one of the art pieces. Something that gives me an impression of who you are and what kind of art you collaborate in. It may sound stupid, but first impressions do really matter, even on Github. A dark, blurry picture of you drinking beer does not give a good impression.

  Perfect! This gives a _much_ better impression on who you are (in a professional environment)

This. Oh my god this. I can't believe people put up a TikTok-value photo on a professional site and wonder why they aren't getting 6 figure offers - no matter how technical they are.

  > I can't believe people put up a TikTok-value photo on a professional site That's interesting - for the longest time, for me Github wasn't anything related to the professional world, just a website to put the hobby OSS projects or uni group projects on. Things have obviously changed - it's nice to get a reality check regarding it.
