“It's also critical you list your GitHub profile or other prominent open source work that shows us you're contributing to the open source community, passionate about the work you're doing, and looking to improve your skills.”
Is this still top advice?
- londons_explore 6y agoIf you have done opensource work, it's totally worth listing it. People who code in their free time have a higher chance of success at places like Google. If you haven't, it isn't a dealbreaker.
- peruvian 6y agoIf you have something to show, sure. In my experience most engineers, even "Big Four" ones, have empty Github profiles.
- awat 6y agoThat's why I was asking. For the most part my experience and anecdotes matched up with almost everything in the article expect that piece. Just wanted to get some other opinions.
- bigwavedave 6y agoYMMV but when I was still in school about 6 years ago, I was told my github was why I was chosen over candidates with degrees for my first industry position.
