Ask HN: Whats more important in regards to finding a new job?

3 pointsby kbrissoabout 3 years ago
Would you spend time on a side project hosted on GitHub or practicing algorithms? I'm finding myself chasing my tail at times. I do have a full time job but I want to find something else to do. I would like to get job using Electron/React or React native (don't hate - I find Electron fun to build desktop apps) so I'm building a project that uses Electron/React so I can get the experience.

I feel that your approach might be too instrumental to be effective.<p>I get it that you want to find and convert the best opportunity in the most optimal time, but sometimes the best idea is to lean into you want you enjoy to do, especially if that thing is professionally relevant.<p>It&#x27;s a long way to say &#x27;build a project using Electron&#x2F;React but don&#x27;t do it just to get a job&#x27;

I don&#x27;t get this question. Where do you want to work?<p>If it&#x27;s faang then leetcode &amp; grokking the system design interview will work for entry&#x2F;mid level. Otherwise it seems to vary from startup to startup in terms of how they&#x27;ll assess you.
