I’m a B.Tech CS student currently looking for software engineering and Web3 internships. I recently rebuilt my resume and would appreciate honest feedback.

I’m particularly interested in feedback on my projects, open-source contributions, technical skills, and whether the resume is strong enough for internship applications.

What should I improve or remove?

I’ve been frustrated by resume builders that hide everything behind a paywall or require an account just to download. So I built one myself…

Currently it has:
- 20+ ATS-friendly templates
- Live preview as you type
- Download PDF free - no account, no email, no credit card
- Works on any device
 
Would love honest feedback especially on the templates and the editor UX 😅

Tried all options, applied more than 1000 applications in Naukri and approx 100+ through career portals. Still no OA, let alone interview.

Starts this Monday!

Happy to answer any questions

I genuinely don’t know what I’m doing wrong anymore.

I’m a Java Backend Developer with ~6 months of backend experience, working with:

• Java
• Spring Boot
• Spring Security
• PostgreSQL
• Redis
• REST APIs
• JWT / OAuth
• Docker
• Git
• Gradle
• Razorpay/payment integration

I’ve built and worked on actual backend systems, including a production e-commerce backend with 60+ REST endpoints.

And yet...

~200+ applications.
Naukri. LinkedIn. Indeed. Company career pages. Cold DMs. Referrals. Direct applications.

I’ve tried pretty much everything I could think of.

Interview calls: 0.

Not 2.
Not 5.
Not even 1.

Zero.

At this point, getting rejected would honestly feel better than being completely invisible.

I’ve spent weeks applying, tweaking things, reaching out to people, trying different job portals, asking for referrals, changing keywords, and applying to roles that match my stack.

And nothing.

It’s getting exhausting. Day by day I’m starting to feel genuinely stuck because I know I can improve technically, but I can’t even get the chance to prove myself in an interview.

So I’m putting my ego aside and asking Reddit:

Please roast my resume.

I’m attaching it to this post.

I want brutally honest feedback.

Is my resume bad?
Is my experience not convincing?
Am I targeting the wrong jobs?
Are my projects garbage?
Is the formatting killing my chances?
Are my keywords wrong?
Am I applying incorrectly?
Does my profile simply suck for 0–1 YOE Java backend roles?

Tell me what you would change if you were trying to get me an interview.

If someone here has successfully landed a Java/Spring Boot backend job recently, I’d especially appreciate hearing exactly what worked for you.

And yes, the title is half-joke, half-serious:

If someone actually helps me land a job, I’ll happily give them my first month’s salary as a thank-you.

I’m not looking for sympathy.

I’m looking for the problem.

Because I really want to fix it.

Resume attached below. Roast away. 🔥

Hey guys,
Is anyone interested in buying hello interview premium on shared basis for 1 year?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m an Indian student developer participating in an international Builder Fest competition.

I built DataSwapX, a telecom-focused marketplace prototype for buying and selling unused mobile data before it expires.

I’m keeping the technical implementation private for now, but I’d love to get feedback on the idea and overall product from fellow developers.

If you have a moment, please check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks! 🙏

Hi Everyone, I need some advice.

I’m a Java backend developer with 8 years of experience and with 17 LPA CTC. I’m currently on the payroll of a company, working for a global investment bank as the client.

The client is now considering converting me to a full-time employee (FTE) as a Tech Lead. I’ve been working as a Tech Lead for the last year, and from what I understand, after conversion I may be expected to lead two different teams(Not finalised).

I want to understand:

1. What CTC should I realistically expect after the conversion?

2. Is there room for negotiation during an internal/client conversion?

3. How much should I negotiate without risking the conversion? I’ve heard of cases where people asked for a higher CTC and the offer was simply rejected.

Given that the scope and responsibility may increase significantly, I don’t want to accept an offer that doesn’t reflect that.

I know my current CTC is low for my experience, but during conversion I cannot be expecting 50–60 LPA just because I have 8 YOE. I understand that the hike may be calculated based on my current CTC.

For people who have gone through a similar contractor → FTE conversion, what was your experience with compensation and negotiation?

TL;DR: I’m an 8 YOE backend developer earning 17 LPA, currently working as a Tech Lead for an investment bank. The client may convert me to an FTE, with potentially more responsibility across 2 teams. What CTC should I realistically expect, and how much room is there for negotiation?

Hi folks,wanted to know if there are any recommendations of good YT vids/playlists which properly demonstrates a proper real life production level project, implementing different LLD patterns and HLD implementation, with using modern tools used in prod like monitoring and others, for Java stack backend or Fullstack?

Recently I had completed a 3 mth internship and in the interview round I have reached and given the final 3rd round for PPO interviews, now either I will be selected and given PPO offer or will be eliminated.

But I am not satisfied with the pay structure in the current company coz for same role i.e. a developer role, different colleges had different pays like even when we both students are working in same team, similar work, both came for PPO and if are being selected shld have similar capabilities but the problem is I don't know if I will get the same PPO offer as that guy (atmost there will be 2x diff if he gets 9 lpa I will be placed around 4.5 to 5 lpa) just because in CET for his college 98%ile was required and in my 96%ile i.e. college tag is affecting the package

But I feel if this was company placements round then it would have been a different situation but here we came on our own capabilities so why college tag should matter 😭

So here in this situation I want to try and negotiate something with HR but I want ur guidance on how to approach this situation.

🚀 Blockchain / MEV Developer Wanted — Profit Sharing Partnership
I’m looking for an experienced Blockchain / DeFi developer to partner with me in building a serious MEV bot.
What I provide:

Other technical resources needed
What I’m looking for:
Strong experience with Solidity, Rust/Python, EVM, DeFi, DEXs, smart contracts, MEV, arbitrage or liquidations.

Instead, we will agree on a **profit-sharing partnership from the bot’s realized profits.
If you have the technical skills and want to build something serious together, send me a DM with your experience/GitHub.

I’m currently working as an SDE Intern at a startup, and the pay is actually pretty decent for an internship of around 70k to 80k. My work is mainly around React and React Native, and I’m also trying to broaden my skills into full-stack development.

The thing is, I’ve started feeling that working at a startup can be quite tiring. There’s a lot of responsibility and the pace can sometimes be intense. I am also having a feeling that I am not learning much.

I’m considering looking for better opportunities around December, potentially at a larger company/MNC. I’m also working on DSA (currently doing Blind 75) and trying to strengthen my overall development skills.

For people who have been in a similar situation:

• Is moving from a startup to an MNC a good career move?
• Does startup experience help when applying to bigger companies?
• Should I prioritize getting stronger technically at my current company, or start actively preparing for MNC/product-company interviews?
• Would you recommend sticking with the startup longer because of the broader exposure?

I’d especially appreciate perspectives from people who have moved from startups to larger product companies/MNCs.

Did I make the right decision by starting at a startup, or should I be looking to switch as soon as I have a good opportunity?
