I've been struggling to land a new job.

I'm currently employed, but I'm severely underpaid as a junior fullstack dev. I originally accepted the role because I wanted to gain real-world experience, and I'm grateful for everything I've learned. However, after more than 2 years, I feel like I've reached the point where I'm no longer growing and my career has become stagnant.

I've been applying to roles where my skills are around a 70% match, but I haven't had much success. I'm starting to wonder if my resume is the problem or if there are specific skills I'm missing.

I'd really appreciate any honest feedback on my resume—whether it's the format, content, or areas I should improve. If there are technologies or skills you think would make me a stronger candidate, I'd love to hear your suggestions as well. I'm open to opportunities in: full stack, frontend, backend, and QA roles.

Here's my resume:

Thank you in advance to anyone willing to take the time to help. I truly appreciate it.

I’m currently building my first full-stack ecommerce system using the PERN stack (PostgreSQL, Express, React/Next.js, Node.js) and I’d love to get advice from developers who have already deployed similar production apps.

Right now my planned stack looks like this:

• Frontend: Next.js
• Backend: Express + Node.js
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Payments: considering PayMongo or PayRex
• Hosting: currently looking at Hostinger VPS

My questions:

1. Deployment Stack What do you recommend for deploying full-stack ecommerce apps in production?

• VPS (Hostinger / DigitalOcean / etc.)
• Vercel + separate backend
• Render / Railway / other setups?

1. Shipping Flow How do you usually handle shipping logic in your systems? Right now I’m planning:

• manual admin input of tracking number
• status updates (processing → shipped → delivered)

1. Payment Gateways (PH context) I’m choosing between:

• PayMongo
• PayRex

1. Pricing / Charging For those who freelance or build ecommerce systems: What is a reasonable range for a custom full-stack ecommerce build like this?

I’m still trying to figure out if I’m undercharging or overestimating value.

I’m trying to build this properly (clean architecture + scalable setup), so any advice from experienced devs would be really helpful.

Also if its better na gawin to with woocommerce or shopify but I dont have experience with woocommerce or wordpress and sa shopify naman mga theme customizations lang.

Additional context I'm a full stack dev for 2 years now and it's my first time pa lang gumawa ng ecommerce website and integrating payment gateways.

Thanks in advance!
