I couldn't be in more agreement :) I know for a fact that the reason I got a job in the industry is my side projects - not my education, not connections, nothing else. I've literally had an interview which was ending prematurely, but then I told the guys "Wait, let me show you what I can do." After showing them some personal projects they told me the interview completely turned around. They accepted my inflated salary request. --Vic-- I completely 100% absolutely totally agree!!!
