Fresher: what changes
A software engineer fresher is read in seconds for three things: can you build something that runs, can you say what it did for real users, and do your marks clear the screen. Projects and one internship carry the page; marks stay on it, short and visible.
First thing a reader checks: A link that opens: a GitHub repository or live demo with a README, not a folder of tutorial code.

2 to 5 years: what changes
At two to five years the reader stops asking whether you can code and starts asking what you owned. Scale, speed and cost numbers replace course projects, school marks come off, and the summary names the next role you want.
First thing a reader checks: Ownership words backed by scale: the service you owned, requests or records per day, users affected.

5+ years: what changes
With five or more years, the question is judgment: what you decided, what it cost or saved, and who you grew. A senior resume spends its space on two or three systems you owned and drops everything that is only a tool name.
First thing a reader checks: Scope you can defend: transactions per day, teams affected, rupees saved or earned, with the baseline stated.
