Mistakes that cost full stack developer interviews

Projects without live links.
Frontend-only bullets on a full stack resume.
Calling yourself 'MERN stack' and nothing else; say what you built.
Ignoring performance and testing, which separate juniors from mid-level.

FAQ

What projects should a full stack developer show?

One deployed product with real users or payments, one with a non-trivial backend (auth, queues, real-time), and your best UI work. Link all of them.

MERN or Next.js on the resume?

List what you used. Many Indian startups now hire for Next.js and TypeScript, so say so if you have it.

Should I include freelance work?

Yes, as experience, with the client type and outcome.
