Samvatsari highlights the strength of harmony and to forgive others. It calls for embracing empathy and solidarity as our source of motivation. In this spirit, let us renew and deepen bonds of togetherness. Let kindness and unity shape our journey forward. Michhami Dukkadam!
If you want to get a job as a software engineer in this market:
Build a side project!
Solve a problem you have with a little web app, built with a backend framework and language you enjoy, and a frontend framework and language you like. Most importantly, ship it to a URL.
Get some customers. React to their feedback over and over again.
When applying for jobs, always include the URL of your side project.
In a single “word”, you can show a CEO/manager/recruiter that you can:
1. Write code
2. Ship to production
3. Solve customer problems
4. Don’t need to be managed
Dream hire!
