Course Overview

You have spent 50+ hours sharply refining your resume and LinkedIn profile. You have applied to 1,000+ jobs. However, despite all your hard work, you are getting almost 0 interviews, and when it comes to Big Tech, it's actual 0. What can you do?

There are many options here, but one of the most straightforward, underrated, and powerful ones is to build meaningful side projects. The entire point of a tech company is to build software at scale that gets a ton of users. You don't need to be working in a professional environment to do that - All you need is a computer and an internet connection. After going through this course, you will:

  • 💎 Understand what makes a side project valuable

  • 🫸 Avoid common traps that produce terrible ideas

  • ⚙️ Have a process to generate feasible, quality ideas

  • 💡 Follow a framework to judge a project’s quality

  • 💪 Set up the right mentality to build projects long-term

This all starts by creating a project idea that you can build on the side (even as a junior engineer) and has market demand. This course will teach you how to do just that. Once you get 10,000+ users, your portfolio will start turning heads, and once you break 500,000+ like this course goes through, tech companies will be breaking down your door to give you an interview, even FAANG.
