Hey guys looking for some feedback on my resume. Me and my significant other will be relocating to Dallas in August so I need to be able to switch from Amazon if I can't internally transfer to a position there. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. I'm hoping to target mid-senior level SWE positions, I'll have 4 YOE by the time I'm applying and I do realize that's on the lower end for senior.
> I'm hoping to target mid-senior level SWE positions Looking at your YOE, you started end of 2020. That's barely over 3 years (we don't count internships as work experience in the industry). And you just became SDE2 3 months ago. No sane recruiter would ever put you on a senior loop especially in the current job market. Realistically, you are targetting SDE2. And closer to entry level external SDE2 as in a recruiter's eyes, you only have 3 YOE by industry terms (very entry external SDE2). Good luck though. Also agree with ligaments. Don't differentiate SDE2 from SDE1 experience at Amazon. Just say you were a software engineer (why even put levels). And no one cares about GPA. Especially not at 3.48 and not after work experience.
DM for SAP and anyone else for a referral!

Should I marry a lazy girl?
This might be an un-popular opinion. If this is for external roles (outside Amazon) I would lump your entire Amazon experience (Feb22-Present) into SDE-II …since you have not spent enough time in your currently role to justify any impact … Also, your bullet points are heavy on “things I did” vs “things I did to address problems I discovered”
Good point on the bullets, I'll work on updating that text. For lumping it all together as SDE2 would that put me at risk if a new employer contacted Amazon to verify my job position? I'm not sure if they'll give them time in specific role info there
Look at your own verification report from Amazon - Amazon does not answer any calls or emails regarding verification and only uses ‘theworknumber.com’ Check your own report and figure out how to update your resume.
