I need interview questions for SWETA
I had a interview with the partner where in the last few minutes he mentioned they are taking their time with the process and a final decision might be made a month or two from now so I shouldn’t be discouraged if I don’t hear back for some time. I first submitted an application a month ago. What could this be about?EY

Networking may help- reach out to people on linkedin and do informational interviews. Ask them if your portfolio is adequate (highlight some projects for them), and then ask for a referral
You need to get your portfolio out where the right people can see it. Get as creative as you need to. Think viral advertising, but for your skills.
Unfortunately, you are probably well qualified and a good applicant but simply have not had your work in front of the right people or presented in the right way. It could be that you need to rework your resume/portfolio to better represent the skills they're looking for, or networking might be the answer as well. Don't give up hope.
Maybe volunteer for a non profit to do coding to show demonstrated output rather than just academic?
