Thanks for the responses, folks.<p>Based on tips here and other feedback I&#x27;ve gotten, I think it is worthwhile to discuss my side work if I think it&#x27;s relevant to a potential role, but emphasize that it doesn&#x27;t conflict with my main job.<p>The reality is that I am doing this side work both because it&#x27;s really fun and it&#x27;s the type of experience I am looking to gain (that my regular job doesn&#x27;t provide). I&#x27;d be glad to put it aside when I start a new role.<p>To put it another way, if I weren&#x27;t doing this side work, I&#x27;d be doing similar personal projects.
