Then I don't get it. Your resume is solid

#

Economy is terrible so I guess that's it

Maybe it’s because it’s getting late in the process too?

#

Applied to a bunch of companies last night and woke up this morning to receive auto rejections from several of them because they’d already filled out all their intern slots

#

you should learn more enterprise skills

#

I see a lot of other skills that are not super relevant for big tech

#

I'm a swe at a unicorn and gotten offers in FAANG

#

so main thing I see is that you don't know/use a lot of the technologies that is used in big tech

#

unless you're trying to do code with arduino but those are few and rare

#

I would try to learn more full stack techs like:

react/vue/angular
rest/graphql
mongodb, cassandra, oracle, dynamodb
So many more like

AWS EMR, ECS, EC2, EKS, Docker, Kubernetes, Redis, memcache, etc

#

there are so many technologies so I would try to build more projects around these technologies and look at the job description and try to accumulate a list of all the technologies that these companies are looking for

#

good luck

Sure I think you should prioritize what you think is important since gpa unless you’re going to grad school is not super important
