> Makes me nervous about getting fired and having nothing to talk about in interviews. I always exaggerate about that. For instance, It’s not that I don’t know Kafka (I have used extensively in side projects), but I would say I did something with it in my current/previous job if the next job requires it even if all I did was mundane tasks that have nothing to do with Kafka. companies don’t care what tech you have used in side projects, they care what tech you have used in previous jobs). It’s a win-win because I get the job and they get someone who knows the tech they are looking for.
