Backend <> Full stack <> Frontend 😂

Founder

Backend <> Full stack <> Frontend 😂- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Currently I am doing an SLI in the frontend team ( React ) at a good company, So for the full time roles after college should I stay in frontend or look for backend opportunities ? What is better for the future ? 

P.S. I have worked on full stack projects in the college and enjoy both frontend and backend equally.

Frontend development

I am currently employed in a startup where I work in the frontend part of the application written in Angular. How should I approach backend development. Is this even needed or just FE knowledge is enough for EM/architect roles.

Software Developer

Hi everyone, I am working as a ruby on rails backend engineer in a service based giant of India for past 3 years ..

Thinking of changing my role to a front-end developer (I know front-end as ruby on rails requires a good amount of front-end knowledge)

What are some things to keep in mind while changing roles, also for a 3 year experience, what salary should I expect in Bangalore/Gurgaon...?

Also, if you're a front-end developer, what tech do you most predominantly use in day to day coding & also please share your salaries...Thanks !

Changing role. From backend to frontend

So I am working on frontend for past 1 year, and work has become monotonous and I always wanted to be in backend, my team only works in frontend.

What should I do because I don’t want to be stuck in frontend forever, people around me are saying if I stay here for a year more, I will be stuck in frontend and it will be very hard for me to switch to backend.

Please advise, Thank you!

Frontend = HTML/CSS says VP of Engineering!

I really hate and dread frontend. Those javascript scares the shit out of me. Then there are frameworks which gets outdated every other year and wouldn't back support. Hell of a technology.

I hate Frontend. What about you?

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

As the post says, my relative's tech company is looking to hire a full stack web developer and relocate them to Bangkok, Thailand with a work visa. Only one developer needed. Please DM me for resume forwarding to them.

Backend preferably Microsoft MySQL
Front end preferably php

BUT ANY BACKEND AND FRONTEND WILL DO SINCE THE WEBSITE NEEDS REVAMPING BUT IS CURRENTLY USING THESE TECHNOLOGIES.

Data Scientist

I am a FullStack engineer working at a startup with 1 YOE, lately I have realised that there are more specialist roles (Frontend/SRE) in most companies and are paid really well.

I really like working FullStack (Typescript with Node/PHP) and am wondering if I'll have to become a specialist in order to have a well paid job in future 🤔 ?

Is being FullStack not respected ?

I have been doing Python, Django, and React for 3.5 years, and now Im working with FastAPI and AI LLM for the last 6 months.  
I want to learn one more stack and was wondering which would go best with what I already have. I'm thinking of Golang or maybe Java.

Backend tech stack suggestion

Saw a comment somewhere here to not do full stack development but only focus on one area and upskill in that. I assume they meant focus on frontend or backend only.

I’ve always thought full stack is more desirable than being only focused in one area. 

Curious to hear what other people think

Thoughts on full stack dev?

I am 20, a full stack developer. I have experience working with typescript, javascript, solidity, c ,React, Next. I have worked on 2-3 projects as a full stack developer.

 I want to work on new projects also I am not in a financially stable situation. So if any of you looking for interns, please let me know.

Please help me out, I would be grateful forever.

I am a full stack developer, help me out please

DevOps Engineer

Hi folks, I am a frontend engineer. A bit of background about me:

- Exp: 4 years
- Tech: Over the years, I have only worked on frontend and some build tooling. For all these years I have only used JS/TS and ReactJS to the point where I currently feel handicapped in other languages.

My problem with frontend:

Most companies I have worked till now except for one, frontend is just converting the UI designs to UI code as fast as possible. Most companies do not offer much time to think about different cases for a component and write it well. Its mostly, if it works then push. Contrast to this, BE does get proper design + arch to ensure it scales well with future requirements.

Why I am thinking of backend/fullstack roles?

Seems better from future point of view. Progression is clear in BE, lot more roles it seems, interview process is mostly standard. In FE its sometimes FE releated, some DSA etc. So never sure what they going to ask. Also, progression in FE is bit unclear and how to make a case for it.

What are my options?
1) In my current company, BE is Java + Springboot, I have started doing some BE tasks here and there but seems Java + Springboot is a mammoth and I dont know if I will be good enough for a switch of roles with this experience. Switching inside the company feels a far fetched dream since there are far less number of FE devs and I have to mostly work on FE tasks one after the other because of scarcity.

2) Learn and do some side projects in Node.js since already familiar with JS and also had done some small APIs(freecodecamp) based on nodejs in the past.

3) Learn python, good for backend software dev + good for ml also going forward. Seems easier than Java to get started with django.

Primary confusion between  2 & 3 is, does side project make any difference when switching for roles or will actual job experience with option 1 be of more value even though it will take a long long time? 

Please suggest if someone has switched roles before.

Thanks.

Same backend, new front end.

Product Manager

Hi everyone, I am a frontend developer(3yr+) who wants to switch to backend development. I am looking for some advice from people who have made a similar transition in their career. How was your journey and what was your plan?

What do you recommend I should do to become a backend developer? What skills and technologies should I learn?

Also, how should I handle the salary and job search aspects? Should I take a salary cut or join at the same salary? 💰 How should I approach HR or put myself on job portals?

Please help me. I am feeling confused and unsure about my career path.🙏
