mcdowell-cv VS resume

This is the resume template I've used over the last 8ish years: https://www.careercup.com/resume

It doesn't hurt to get someone to review your resume if you're not getting bites.

If you can find a friend's cousin's sister who works at a FAANG company who's willing to refer you, that'd be ideal. All the FAANG companies I've interviewed have an internal referral system.

I only got into a FAANG company once as an intern. It was pure luck that I didn't have any leetcode rounds. Every other time I tried interviewing for SWE my fall was leetcode. The good news is there isn't much luck required, its 90% just a grind. You can be the unluckiest person on the planet and still get in. That being said, good luck :-)

Use the Career Cup template: https://www.careercup.com/resume

The resume content itself looks solid and contains keywords but I think that it is not properly structured, which may be causing automated resume evaluators to reject it. Consider adding LinkedIn and GitHub links to it too. Also, it was not immediately clear how many years of full-time experience you had. Mark your experiences clearly as internships or jobs.

As far as format, you can't go wrong with the Gayle McDowell Method. It's actually on overleaf as a standard template, but her method has good best practice info on writing a tech focused resume in general.

Too long, make it on page of your best work. No summaries, no one is going to read them. Use a different format, here's a link. https://www.careercup.com/resume

My resume is done in Latex and I keep it on Overleaf, you could find some templates on there. This isn’t the exact one that I started with years ago, but it’s very similar: https://github.com/sb2nov/resume

Your resume is almost unreadable. Use something like this: https://github.com/sb2nov/resume. You're not applying for a designer role, so not having fancy graphics and colors should not be an issue.

Your experience and bullet points are good but your resume formatting is really lacking. Recruiters only spend a few seconds per resume and if they can't understand what's going on you might miss your shot. I would suggest switching to a LaTeX resume like this using the Overleaf link.
