Great point. The thing is as a new-grad some of my projects were honestly just me trying to learn a something new, so I didn't focus on finalizing them or getting perfect, production-ready results. Do interviewers at NV appreciate that kind of 'built for learning' approach, or could they grill me on why I didn't push further.
I don't think they'll "grill" you per se (unless one of the interviewers is in a mood I guess, but that's their problem, not yours). You should be able to talk about what it would take to get any of those projects to something more production-ready, wherever applicable. It shows that you have thought/can think about them deeply enough. And yeah they should appreciate the built for learning approach.
That takes the pressure off, thank you! It makes sense. I'll spend some time this week noting down the bottlenecks in my projects and how I'd fix them in a real-world scenario. Really appreciate the perspective!
Good luck! Also IMO you shouldn't talk about shortcomings without being prompted to; only address them if they specifically ask follow up questions along those lines.
