Yea, on the other hand: more and more recruiters require to have a nice list of side projects on github. I failed an interview a couple of times because of that.

On the other hand: too often the "work hard, dedicate all your thoughts to this project" just means: "let the owner buy a new jet, and the manager to get a huge bonus... oh, btw. you will get fired as soon as you will show the first sign of a burn out, then we find a new one who will happily work over the weekends so we will get next car this year".
