Course description

You have spent 50+ hours refining your resume and LinkedIn profile. You have sent out over 1000 job applications. Yet, despite all your efforts, interview invitations are almost nonexistent. And with top companies, including Big Tech, it's zero. What should you do?

There are many ways, but one of the simplest, underrated, and powerful is to create meaningful side projects. The goal of any technology company is to develop scalable products used by hundreds of thousands of users. To do this, you don’t need to work with a team—just a computer and internet access is enough.

Read more about the course

After completing this course, you will learn:

  • What makes a side project valuable
  • Which mistakes lead to bad ideas
  • How to generate ideas that can be implemented
  • How to evaluate the quality of an idea and project
  • How to develop the right approach to creating long-term projects

The course will help you come up with an idea for a project that you can implement in your free time (even if you are a beginner engineer) and that will be in demand in the market. When your project reaches 10,000+ users, your portfolio will begin to attract attention, and after reaching 500,000+, top companies, including FAANG, will invite you for interviews.
