Hi everyone,

I need some honest advice and guidance. I got selected as a Software Engineer (as per my offer letter), but due to immediate business requirements, my company assigned me to a support project in Networking Engineering. It was mostly non-development work — troubleshooting, solving queries of the customer

The environment was quite toxic, so I left after 10 months. Now I want to switch into a Backend Developer role, specifically with Node.js. I’ve learned Node.js, Express, MongoDB, REST APIs, JWT, etc., and have built 3–4 solid personal projects.

However, I’m barely getting any interview calls. I’m not sure how to present my previous experience on my resume and in interviews.
