My biggest struggle is curating the right projects to showcase in the portfolio. I strongly believe in quality over quantity. But then I also have a hard time wanting to showcase every skill and diversity of projects when there is so much to display. The advise I have gotten is to make separate portfolios and resumes for the focus of the positions you want to get interviews for.

I never did a separate portfolio, it was just suggestion I've gotten more than once. as of now I only have one portfolio with sections I can turn on and off depending what I want to showcase. UX designs or fully fleshed out Front End projects.

Hi Group, seems like it should be basic format, but I just can not get it to work. a list of data and want to alternate shade (blue,white,blue,etc) each line but if I have multiple lines I want to group together and they all shade the same.

Hi, What is the salary range of Product Analyst FAANG vs Startups?
(1+ YOE)

I'm an accounts receivable expert with 8+ yrs of experience. I started with 96k per annum in 2014, and have worked with 4 different MNCs since then. Currently I'm getting approx 9Lpa, and it feels like I'm pretty much stuck here. Switching jobs increases the pay scale, while staying for a while reflects stability.

When I look at the other member's comments here, it seems majority of folks are earning 20-30Lpa or even more.

Any suggestions from mature audience to achieve a big pay raise.
