Portfolio/Personal Website

A lot of early career devs ask "Do I need to have a portfolio/personal website?" There's no correct answer to this question, but if you want my two cents — if you're applying for back-end jobs, don't worry about having a portfolio unless you want to. If you're applying to front-end or full-stack jobs and think you'll enjoy the challenge, then it's a great way to showcase your skills. But if you're overwhelmed by the idea, it's also ok to spruce up your GitHub page and then focus your energy elsewhere.

If you do opt to create a portfolio, these are two excellent resources:
