Don't put all your eggs in one basket. I noticed that I work enough to impress my manager, sometimes not much happen in a day and on other days I work extra hours. I do this to make sure my boss is happy.
I also work on my side project, and this is what keeps me awake at night because of the excitement and the joy I get.
The thing is, you must be really lucky to have daily joy and excitement from 1 source. I think u always need a side project to keep u balanced and dream
- egfx 6y agoI have the exact opposite problem. I have multiple side projects and no job. No one wants to hire me because of my side projects because they’re full scale products.
- mikesabbagh 6y agohaha, Just make sure u have a skill that is in demand. I had similar issue, started looking for job postings and saw the skills that pay good. then spend time to learn it as much as possible, then fake it until you make it :)
- egfx 6y agoI’m actually an experienced frontend engineer. This time it’s different. You reach the point where you’re on the outside because you bring too much to the position beyond what the hiring manager is looking for and you become a liability and a risk for a company at that point.
