I’m an analyst about a year out of UG. While I’ve only had functional roles in the past year, my background is in SWE, but I’m not getting any SWE interviews. Does my past year really hold me back?

Why can’t you do SWE at Deloitte? To answer your question Id think if you’ve done something completely unspinnable to SWE maybe don’t include this past year? Focus on your education/other background?

like

I meant don’t focus on it, show you were employed but have it as a footnote. I can’t specifically speak to Deloitte but Larger organizations are seemingly always looking for technology people. I’d try your career coach, or whatever Deloitte calls them, and tell them you’re more interested in a tech/track. Cold calling probably won’t get you as much traction as officially changing over.

like

Anyone who’s made a similar transition have any advice?

Are you only speaking to your functional experience on your resume?

Nope, I talk mostly about my internships which were all SWE

Is this how it will always be? Or is this predominantly because I am in lower positions at this point in my career?
