All your projects are the same stack

#

your resume is completely fine - OA score ? how late did you apply from application release

2025 grad

it does

#

i think jpm code for good is for full time

#

no? it's also for interns

gilded saddle
#

I think I know why then

#

the point of a project description is to summarize how you integrated the tecnologies to make the project e.g. "Cached Redis on top of Postgres to reduce database load speed by 50%"

#

you never talked about how you used React, Java, Python, Postgres, or Spring boot and what role each or some of the technologies played in the project

#

you didn't do it at all

#

theres nothing technical

#

you gave a high level description for each project

#

look! read it

#

you described what it is not how it works

gilded saddle
#

well you thought wrong, I will literally show you an example and how much better it looks when you actually go into detail

#

yes you need to be explicit

#

I don't even know what Spring boot does or what it is, and you never described it in your project

#

then you are integrating Javascript and Java? wow that's cool, but now tell me how you're integrating a front end web language vs a backend general purpose language, and why this cause was necessary

#

you're selling yourself short, and if you don't think your bullet points are good enough to mention the technologies, maybe you need bullet points that have more value and go into technical detail (TLDR: give low level not high level, or a mixture of both but more low level)

#

then the last 2 bullets of your 2nd internship would make me role my eyes, but I am not gonna nit pick, cause I don't think they were nit picking for a hackathon, considering the quick rejection, I'm just going to give you the deal breaker

#

this is prob it - jus way too late to have applied

#

trivial outside of what billionare already said

#

plus it's also a numbers game - you could've done everything extremely early and 100% right but still rejected. did the best you could ofc given 100% OA and well above average resume - you genuinely gucci for this season which JUST started

gilded saddle
#

it's good but change the last project back

#

it's really hard to convey the immersiveness of 1 language projects

#

the 2nd bullet point of the 1st project is raw

#

i mean it's good

#

that's your fault, shouldnt have used the same stack for everything, but running companion app is way better than a stock visualizer made in only C
