Why Your Portfolio Website is Basically Free Money You're Leaving on the Table
I'm going to be honest with you — I almost didn't build my portfolio website. Three years ago, when I was trying to pivot from a steady corporate analytics job to freelance data consulting, I thought a portfolio was "nice to have."
