Do recommend letters really that matter? I mean if you put effort and your recommenders like you, all can have quite decent recommendation letter, no?

What is the real differentiator at the application?

Same as the essay.
Everyone can write a good essay if they put in the effort.
They will try to grasp how different and successful you were, and will be.

Recommendations can also help make your entire application feel more genuine if your recommender echoes the same values, characteristics, goals, etc. that you outline in your essay.

For ex. You write about how you want to work at a nonprofit post MBA and your recommender talks about some work initiative you took to booster volunteering activities at your company.

Hi guys,

I switched 20 days back to Optum. I have 7 years of experience working as a full stack Engineer, who is passionate working on both front end and back end on latest technologies. But my project is working only on back end with 10 years old tech stack. There is no front end work at all. What should I do?
I don't like working here at all, but I am not sure whether moving out again in a month will give bad Impression on my resume. Hence please give me advice on this situation
