I am struggling to get interviews. I am not sure what is missing or what I should focus on to have a better resume. I am suspecting there could be something wrong on my resume that recruiters notice.
Any advice would be really help.

Just say software engineer
founding engineer devalues the company

it just sounds tacky imo

I thought it would imply I did a lot of things from scratch.
I was considering of possibily replacing some experience with 2 frontend ones but they're hard to flex imo at least
I could be wrong

I will just keep it as swe. The founder part is not that important
I updated my resume to have 5 experience and one project. Not sure if it's a good idea since I noticed some only put 3?
Also not sure if adding leading experience or founding experience is good but I noticed that some companies care about soft skills so i thought this might help.

Its up to you, most people don't even have 5 experience so that might be why. Depends on whether that last experience is more worthwhile than the project you're removing.
Idk about the soft skills tho I have no clue whether or not it helps

Yeah, I added it recently and I am definitely getting rejected bc of it (not adding grad date).

yeah, I am aware. I have been thinking of possibly pretending to be junior and see if I get interviews. If I am still not getting interviews yet but the goal is to optimize my resume to see if being a sophomore is the problem or my resume.
and if it's still my resume then I will try to optimize it better until it becomes pretty good.
