It doesn't matter. As someone involved in hiring decisions for developers, all we cared about was whether the candidate did something for himself or not. Because if he does, in our experience they're much better developers. Candidates who don't usually only take on the job for the benefits, but don't actually have any interest in the craft.
- satvikpendem 3y agoHow do you deal with people who are more interested in working on their own side projects than actual work? I've dealt with some of these people in the past, where we hire them due to side projects but it seemed like they were neglecting work and putting in minimum/average effort, while (I suppose I can't confirm this but just postulating that) they were spending more time on their side projects.
