Hello all, been at my current company for little under 3 years now and was going to start looking around at new roles. I'm very comfortable at my current job but I'm looking for a role at probably a FAANG company with a pay raise. I'm currently a Software/Data engineer and work at a very large company on an AWS team. I use primarily Python, Terraform, and all sorts of AWS services. I tried to make my experience generalized and not so proprietary to AWS. Most of my work is designing and create new projects from the ground up so metrics are hard to guage with most of my work but I tried to add them where possible.

Do you have any suggestions or improvements I can make? Thanks all!

dont say the tech twice, once in the phrase once in the parenthesis

but it still looks very much like that

#

not much you could do tho id imagine

#

the stuff u did in your oldest exp isnt super technical so would try to cut some stuff there

#

and then with the white space add a project maybe

Okay thanks, do you think itd be beneficial to remove the aws services I used in each bullet point and just say the languages? That way it looks broader and not specific to aws

#

well having aws exp isnt bad its just more specific

#

idk how you would make it look broader though, u would say u used serveless instead of lambda?

That’d be a good way to put it
