Through my career only twice side projects have been brought up during the interview:
- When starting in a startup after I lost many years working for a small no-name company.
- When interviewing for an American company in Madrid (I was not offered a position).
Side question: how do you all come up with ideas for side projects? I don't know if my life is dull (or I'm dull), but I have no creative power in my mind to give birth to great ideas, only small libraries, that well, interest few people.
