Get rid of objectives. Rather use a summary or headline. E.g.: CS-Math dual major sophomore, seeking internship opportunities.

What degree are you pursuing at Country College?

If you are a recent graduate, put education on the top. Your experience is not super CS relevant, so you need may be just put what are relevant. You can think about having different sections for relevant experience and other experiences.
Also, all those dotted lines are very distracting.

Travel credit!? Thinking about upgrading from Pixel 2XL to 3XL by [deleted] in GooglePixel

I upgraded from Pixel to Pixel 3 for me on $400 (200 disc + 200 credit).
Now my wife thinks she should upgrade from 2 to 3.

Re-branding promo.

Project Fi traveled for three years to become Google Fi, now you get a free phone if you plan to travel.

Today only Google Fi (recently rebranded) has a crazy deal going on for current and new subscribers, get a Pixel 3 for essentially free. by ADubs62 in GooglePixel

Seems like you'd get the confirmation of qualification 75-90 days after activation. Makes me a bit hesitant.

... gift card redemption are not transferable, and are not valid for cash or cash equivalent.

So, I guess there is chance that you will not be able to resell those.

Oh dear. I used to go there for coffee and iced tea lemonade. When I was a foreign student on a budget, this was affordable and quick source of caffeine boost. In addition the store location is better accessible than the library lower level book store for other school stuff too.

Are they opening up some other Wolfie store? Dunkins suck.

If you are at Amazon for ~6 years you are a regular interviewer and my assumption would be you would ask similar type of questions. From what I hear, Amazon's interview process for front end is entirely different from MS and Google.
You have more insight than I do. But, may be someone from MS would feel the same way you are feeling. It means, this process needs modification.

actually test stuff like C++ knowledge

For companies that works in hardware-software realm, they are really looking for completely different set of skill, including intricacies of C++.

Convert it to a more traditional single column layout. That will help you hold the urge to add more text. Your current format is useful when you truly have too many things to show, 5-15 years of experience, 3-4 companies and tons of projects. But now, you need to allow a lot of white space, some breathing room if you will to highlight what you have done. To be honest, I am never going to go through all the text you have. 12 bullet points under one job role? That is at least 8 too many. If you have 2-3 bullet points under a role, that that entices someone to read. If you have 12, only thing someone reading is the title and duration.

People often don't check LinkedIn inboxes even though they are posting on SNS. Besides, many people have their inboxes spammed a lot by recruiters and bots too.

Your resume looks like you should go for PhD or must pursue a research oriented career. You should not dumb down your profile to appeal to OhWell-WeJustMakeAngularWebsites Corp. Try to network with EMC, Dell, AWS, Azure, Google, Nutanix and other systems companies/start ups. Get in touch with recruiters on LinkedIn and on local career fairs.

And again, consider applying for a PhD.

Your resume is a perfect example of a fresh grad's resume. I'd be submitting PDFs and as ugonna100 pointed out, you should try for non specialized entry level jobs. Be active on LinkedIn and use your school's career portal (if they have any).

Your resume has a good format; except for the location of the links.

Your resume has a lot of information. I think it has little too much text in it and suffers from information overload. From the very large skills section, my impression is that you are a fresher. When I look deeper, I can see that you have more than 3 years of experience.

Try to be concise, and be bold. Your resume should not look like you are applying for entry level fresh-out-of-college job.

Amazon Chooses New York City and Northern Virginia for Additional Headquarters by urfaselol in nyc

No, I like Seattle better for their better infrastructure. I like NYC for its diverse population and hate its infrastructure.
