So far everyone saying "yes" has anecdotes from the beginnings of a career that started a while ago. Website or not, it was easier to get hired then. Has anyone

  It’s a good point. I haven’t scrolled around much either but there’s going to be selection bias here. I made a portfolio website and had some projects on it. The projects got me hired but the portfolio website itself didn’t. Again, this was for my first post-college job. I shouldn’t have needed portfolio projects but even ten years ago - hiring for new grads was incredibly hard. It took me about nine months to land my first post grad job and another nine months to land my second. I had done 15 onsites to get my second offer! It has never been easy to get a job in this field in the last decade.

  Yes, I started a new job in March and my various marketing efforts in multiple channels contributed, but two of my personal websites, and basically the C.V. website, is brought up in conversation by other people more than any of my other public websites.
