How many projects do you have in your book? Currently have 14 displayed and am feeling even my own attention span is maxed out.

It takes a hiring manager 3 to decide if you are the right fit. The rest is gravy

I’m more on the product side, but I can tell simply from 6 small static project thumbnails if a person is in the top 10% of their craft.

Overall you don’t need more than 10-12 projects usually.

I also judge you on what I consider the least strongest. It sets what their “bar” is to me. So that may determine quantity. I’d suggest someone show 4 amazing things rather than tack on 3 more that are just ok and 1 ehh. Next.

The first three on my site get the majority of the views. One or two others get the rest, for the most part.

17. I know it’s way too many.

I have 12.

What do you think a good number to have is? It is hard to consolidate, to me, every project is so different and can’t possibly be left off, but now I have too many on there too. Is it better to offer just a handful, but then offer something else when I feel like it really pertains to what I’m doing?

How targeted is your book? I feel like everyone is only looking for apple to apples you did X for industry A and I am in industry A needing X. Any I did similar in industry B or I did Y in industry A is not playing well.
I have 7 in mine and then I have a written list of live sites and apps they can click on to see without case studies.

Sounds like keep all of it. Maybe make some category pages targeted to specific industries or type of work. Then you can share out more specific work to be seen first and if they are interested you have your other films.

Best 9 is tight. No more than 12.

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?

I feel that the role should be reserved for employees with experience in the systems they work in.
