the swe experience was a contract at a startup for equity, no pay.
im not sure if i can get away with putting software engineer. what do you think?

i just finished the full stack stock platform. I feel like my projects are solid so i dont know if i should focus on doing another one or if this is enough

also any other feedback is appreciated

#

i have the analytics up of the website and applying to newish startup positions i can see them in real time visit the project's website

#

none of them have signed up only looked at the landing page 😂

#

big tech woudlnt look at it though

#

what if i were to do an internship now, would it be a red flag having swe then an internship?

you need projects that will help solve a real world problem and have a potential user base

a fullstack stock trading platform has no user base potential?

tropic lance a fullstack stock trading platform has no user base potential?
