On the topic of my professional portfolio, is there an ideal way to go about it? I'm wondering about:

Portfolio Types:
Online, PDF-sell sheet, slideshow/presentation, or inline & after resume

Portfolio Size:
How many projects to include, breadth of each project, hi-fi/lo-fi, etc.

Presentation:
Self-guided, slideshow/presentation during interview, etc.

Any insights would be appreciated.


TL;DR; Apologies if this is a repeat or a topic already discussed elsewhere.

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
