Absolutely horrible! I am about to complete my MS EECS degree and have been applying to SWE or MLE roles. Even with my previous ~3 years of Backend Dev experience I am not able to get past resume screening. I just get auto rejected all the time.

Doesn't help the fact that I have been in the US for a little bit more than a year and half, so building a network is pretty hard. Attended a hackathon, won 2nd prize with my team and tried to leverage something from there but no luck at all.

Makes me feel that I might be missing something but no idea what's wrong with my profile. (I don't need sponsorship too).
