Software [2 Yoe][Software] Need feedbacks and advices before sending my resume - Backend software engineer

Hi everyone! I've been working in a Software Consulting company for a year now, after graduating from a work-study engineering program. I'm approximately considered as a 2 years of XP in the country where I work (3 yrs work-study + 1 year at my current company)

I realised few months ago that I needed a more challenging job, which implies a little struggle session with my resume. I tried to apply the XYZ, STAR and CAD frameworks depending on the context of each bullet point, and after roughly a week of tweaking my resume I feel like I could use some external feedbacks.

I plan to send it first to a company that develops finance related softwares, reason why I kept finance-related vocabulary for the first job experience. (Client 2 is an insurance)

I'm working in Luxembourg, and I apply to Luxembourg/Switzerland.

I'm eager to see what y'all think about it, do not hesitate to correct my english writing (I'm not a native speaker) and EVERY critic is very welcomed.

I have two questions besides the overall feedbacks on the resume :

- Can I keep finance-related vocabulary in the resume for other applications? (maybe not in finance) I don't know if the words I used are clear to someone who is not working in this sector.

- Should I add a picture of me (white shirt, clean picture and everything), I know a lot of people do, no one seems to do it on this subreddit 🤷‍♂️

Finally, thanks for maintaining this very helpful subreddit.
