This may apply more to people who are earlier in their career, but I’m interested to hear opinions on this.

My homelab got me my last 2 jobs and the one I'm switching to for significantly more money.

I gave it a passing mention in my resume and a couple of sentences in a cover letter. It got brought up in interview and I was able to talk through all the tech I had experience with, which sold them on me and got me an offer. Job I'm moving to, we only had a casual interview where I discussed my lab, and it turned out 90% of what they use, I've played with at home. Got an offer the same week.
