Not bad Virgil

I am working as a software engineer for 2 years. And work on two companies including my current organization. First one was a micro-scale startup where they don't provide any payslips or PF at all.
I got a referral for Accenture from this group. Today an HR called and told me because of not having the payslips and PF deductions from my fist company, they cannot proceed with my profile. What is happening in this field all of a sudden?
Can anyone give it a bit elaboration?

I would say the portfolio is the biggest thing, and certifications are supplementary. You can get away with having a great portfolio and very few certifications, but I don't think you can get away with the inverse.
I’ve noticed portfolios often spark better conversations in interviews because they show how someone actually builds things.
The certifications show that you are adaptable and comfortable with self study. The portfolio matters more, because that's how you show that you can actually apply what you learn. Both are important, but the portfolio more so.
