I accepted an offer for the software support engineer role! I wanted to say a big thanks to this Insiders group. The guides, calls, and especially @Anna Miller and @Nate Hobi were super helpful.

Hey all... I'm happy to report that I landed an engineering role. Most of my success getting through to recruiters came through referrals of former co-workers, so I didn't really get to build up those networking skills in the ways that I would have ideally. But I plan to keep that up as I go along, so that I'm ready for the next time. Some things I found helpful in this last interview loop: - I used Claude to talk about everything I was doing - Before this coding screen, I asked the recruiter for more information to establish whether it was more "practical" or "Leetcode-style" and she confirmed it was "practical with elements of DSA." So I used that with Claude to generate potential problems that the company might ask, which helped me practice potentially tricky language-specific things like working with timestamps. - I used HelloInterview to learn and practice System Design. I also booked a mock interview through them and it was the most helpful by far. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions, and best of luck to everyone! https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-edward-royall-iii/

I’ve been actively job hunting for the past six months, but I’m still struggling to advance past the initial resume screening stage. I have 5 years of experience in Frontend Engineering, primarily focused on building accessible, performant web applications using React, TypeScript, and modern UI frameworks. Recently, I revamped my resume using insights from the Insider Guide and would truly appreciate any feedback. Whether it's about structure, keywords, or overall clarity—I’m all ears. Thanks in advance for your time and support 🙏
