Hi everyone,
I’m a May 2026 CS student targeting new-grad AI/ML Engineer, ML Engineer, backend SWE, and full-stack SWE roles in the U.S. I’m a U.S. citizen and do not need sponsorship. I graduate in a few weeks with undergrad bachelors degree.
I’ve sent out 100+ applications so far and have received no responses, so I’m trying to figure out whether the resume itself is the main issue before I keep applying with the same version.
I’m especially looking for feedback on:
- Where I sit amongst my peers
- Whether the resume is too dense or too technical for recruiters
- Whether the startup experience, research, TA work, and projects are balanced correctly
- Whether any bullets sound inflated, unclear, or hard to verify
- Whether the project section should be shortened
- Whether there are ATS/parsing issues
- Whether this resume is better suited for AI/ML roles, SWE roles, or neither
I anonymized personal info, school/company names, advisor names, links, and exact locations for privacy. I’d appreciate blunt feedback.
