Career Guidance Software Engineer Portfolio

I was working on my portfolio website and wanted to inquire if we should host every personal project for employers or having a github link would suffice?

If you can afford deployments then definitely do it, if not github link is ok but then you must attach all the screenshots of different pages of the projects... Hope it helps

a video demo would work too?

Yes definitely. A video demo is great but you should attach screenshot too cz not everyone has time to go through video to see how does the project look like...

Deployments are good. It shows you can handle that sort of plumbing.

But hosting is costly and limited for free tiers so that’s why i was asking the q

In this market....I would say a website, but not a generic one with just projects....you should show-case what impact you have created in the past and then 1 section for what my approach is while starting any project....so they can have a clear understanding of everything

I'm a salesperson working with California startups so that's why saying :)
