If you can explain your project well that is enough. Plus good DSA is the key.

I think my projects are a bit basic ,the first project in Java full stack is
Messaging app in which you can send text and one in machine learning in which you can compare the price of real estate in multiple cities using XGBoost, so I was thinking, should I upgrade projects or just focus on basics and DSA?

As a fresher, balance projects and DSA:

Java Full Stack Projects: Use Docker + AWS/GCP (even basic deployment) to stand out—it shows "production-ready" skills.

LeetCode (350+) is great—now focus on system design (scaling your projects).

High packages come from deployable projects + strong DSA, not just quantity.
