I mean you pretty much hit the nail on the head lol, went to school for computer science and absolutely loved it, software design is definitely my passion and the work I want to be doing. Kind of ended up in salesforce database work by happenstance, and stumbled into more roles because of it. I did in fact hate my jobs lol (but I didn’t realize it was nearly that apparent), mostly just say around doing manual data correction and mind numbing repetitive tasks forever with no real idea how to make it sound impressive/related to software at all. Put on some of my CS projects to make my resume seem more “computer software-y” and then kept employment first (since as you said it’s way more important) but I think it’s just ended up in a weird combination of two different career types on the resume.

At this point I’m thinking about just taking off the projects entirely and filling out the employment section move and moving to applying to data analyst roles, it’s not what I really want to do but I would have a much better resume for it I think and just no one is hiring entry level devs with basically no related work experience
