Open source contribution!!
Are you guys contributing to open source? Are there any good open source projects specially in Spring Boot.
Also Open source contribution gives me an edge over others in interviews?

I never contributed to Open Source...
I haven’t contributed to open source once so far. I have 5 yrs of work experience in ML engineering. I have this FOMO for not contributing
-
Will this affect my future career prospects?
-
In order to join product companies (both FAANG & Startups) do I have to have open source contributions?
-
If I were to contribute how should I tell recruiters about it (should I mention it in my resume and how should I mention it)
Please share your thoughts

- No, open source increases chances but no if you don't do it doesn't affect much as most people don't do it
- Startups - no issues at all, faang - os might only help in resume shortlist
- If you have done decent contributions like 10ish PRs then definitely do mention.

Don’t think about it. OS is not for everybody.
That being said do keep looking to solve problems you might face on a day to day basis with code. That could be tooling, maintaining a deprecated library that your work requires, etc.
Might become the next best thing 🤷🏻♂️

Experience vs college brand name
At what point does college name stops mattering? Is there a way to speed up career advancement if you're not from a tier 1 college?

Learn something new or Open source?
My question, as a college student, which is a better thing to do?
