@SortOfTested me too, is it really needed for young people these days?

My "portfolio" literally redirects you to LinkedIn, I've never bothered actually building one, and I doubt I ever will.
But, your GitHub projects.... that's another story. -

Same, I have like 2-3 personal "fun" projects on github but usually I don't even share my github when looking for a job.
Ok last time I was looking for a job was like 8 years ago, maybe rules changed.
But when I'm consulting for hiring someone, if they provide portfolio, i'll look at it, if not, not that important
People of DevRant who are involved in recruitment.
Eventually I want to look for a new job as a "proper" developer.
I've just started the 2nd level/year of my OU degree and I'll be working on that for another few years.
I won't start looking seriously until after covid etc and the economy has calmed down a bit.
What sort of projects do you recommend someone trying to get their foot in the door should have on their portfolio?
Should it be fully fledged applications like a big tracker/help desk or smaller projects which showcase knowledge of a particular subject e.g. programs that show knowledge of different algorithms etc?
