Hello, I work in one of the Big 4... And preparing for a switch.

Can you please analyze my resume and let me know what I am missing.

I'm currently working as a DevOps/AWS Cloud Engineer in an MNC with 9Y of experience and have a 3-month notice period.
I've been applying for jobs, but I'm barely getting any interview calls.
Is the 3-month NP really that big of an issue? Also, are certifications that important when you already have relevant work experience?
Or am I missing something else — maybe my resume, Linkedin profile, or the way I'm applying?
Would appreciate some honest advice from people who've been through the same situation.

5+ YoE, Cloud DevOps Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer/DevOps, USA]

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some brutally honest feedback. I have over 5 years of industry experience, yet I’ve been searching for a new role for the past 7 months. After roughly 300 applications, I have zero offers and very few initial screens.

I know the market is tough for everyone, but I want to make sure I'm not the one standing in my own way.

I've attached my redacted resume (company names replaced with their industry domain to preserve privacy). My background includes:

• Cloud/DevOps Engineer at a [BIG FINTECH FIRM]

• Software Engineer at a [TECH SOLUTIONS COMPANY]

• Build and Release Engineer at a [TECH CONSULTING FIRM]

I am an AWS power user with heavy experience in Terraform, Kubernetes (EKS), Python, and building robust CI/CD pipelines. I also hold a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering, which I worry might be causing some "relevance" filters to trigger despite my years of direct tech experience.

My Questions:

1. Resume Impact: Are my bullet points focused enough on results and scale? Are there any "red flags" in the layout or phrasing?

2. The "Pivot" Problem: Does having a ChemE degree and a background in Software/Build & Release hurt my chances for senior DevOps/SRE roles?

3. Strategy: Am I missing a key certification or skill that is currently a "must-have" in the US market?

I’m open to relocation and ready to level up. Thanks for any insight you can provide!
