I'd like to get at least one respectable project under my belt before I begin grinding LC and sending out my resume.
Looking around I've found two schools of thought -- 1. build something new that you're passionate about; and 2. build a normal business application (think bugtracker) so that a recruiter can easily understand it.
What are your thoughts?
EDIT: I'll mostly be applying to core tech companies i.e. FAANG and similar.
