I got to do only trashy projects recently Also the rewards were just ok even though I did them well. I want to leave obviously but fear that no top tier company will hire me if I talked about these in inrerviews. How can I solve this?
YoE. If trash projects only recently, you can talk about past projects.
If you think that you did well, talk about that, and mention that you wanted to do something more interesting, hence you are interviewing, also, do something aside, get exposed to a new tech, build a side project if you have some extra time, and be authentic, authenticity is key in hiring, I heard that from many, and this is my view as an engineering manager.
Thank you.. It is hard to do side projects when I have full time job, family, need to do leetcode and design qns
Do Leetcode like a month or 2 before the interview. Do side projects every now and then. Like I did a speech recognition project by working like an hour for a week. And got to learn about quite a few things.
Good angle. I like it.
Leetcode
Doing it like therr is no tomorrow
