Build Side Projects With 500k+ Users: Coming Up With An Idea
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.
