Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have done 6months frontend developer intership and currently working as frontend developer full time. Total 1yr experience. Should i learn backend before switching job or should i get better at frontend and DSA.

Should i learn backend?

Frontend Engineer

Should i learn backend?- Grapevine

I am .NET developer with 4 YOE. I am working in a service based company in a tier-2 city. What should I do? revise DSA or learn Frontend? I am planning to switch.

DSA vs Frontend

Software Engineer

I am working as a front-end developer in a startup for 2+ years and i want to switch to a different company.

The problem is I have only worked on the frontend in my current job though my designation is SDE in my offer letter. I don't have much knowledge about backend either.While applying for jobs the JD says i should have work experience in backend tech so in this case should I apply to those jobs or not.There are very few job openings for frontend and everyone is asking for full stack.

Will my interviewer asks questions for backend also though I have not worked on it? Or should I only focus on DSA.I have a good knowledge on frontend.

Should I just focus on frontend and DSA for my interviews? I am planning to Target FAANGM and good product start-ups

Experience - 2+

Tc - 9.5(8.5 + 1 bonus)

Are frontend devs not eligible to apply for SDE roles?

I am currently working as a front end engineer (ReactJS) in an Indian Service based company. I have a pretty solid front end knowledge. My end goal is to be a full stack developer. So I was about to start backend engineering. But also I want to switch to a nice product based company (end goal is ofcourse MAANG type company). 
Currently I have 1+ years of experience.
It's not like I don't enjoy DSA, I enjoyed Development over DSA. My DSA skill is very basic for now (I know arrays, hashmap, two pointers thats all)
So My question is when to start DSA?
Because If I start DSA now then I need to at least give 1 year to DSA. But then I will not be able to do Backend.
Most people also say not to do dev and dsa in parallel.
So suggest something to me.
Should I do Backend first then do DSA or
Should I do DSA then do dev
Or should I do both at the same time??

I know I need to invest 3 to 4 hours daily if I need to be a full stack engineer with strong DSA skill. I am ready to be in discipline.

Right time to start DSA

Software Developer

I have joined a startup as Backend Developer Intern. I get a stipend of 6K/ Month. They said they will offer full time position after internship, but the salary will be 10-12K. 

The only good thing is I am directly working on a live project. I am making REST APIs there. 

I have 5 months of time. What should I do? Should I learn react or should I learn backend concepts more deeply. I am also planning to apply for jobs side by side. Give your valuable thoughts on what should I do?

React or Spring Boot

Backend Engineer

I am SDE (fronted) at a YC backed startup so my qyestion is what should I learn from now (cosider I am above avergae frontend dev with 1yoe) should I only focus on fronted and master it or learn backend or devops which is best option?

So I am currently a full stack engineer at a startup, now I have 3 offers 1 backend and 2 frontend. Currently I kinda like the full stack role that I am in but since I want more income I have to move out. The offer for frontend as well as backend are paying decently well and are very similar offers as far as comp is considered.

What do you think I should opt for, I am 2 years experienced. If I pick the frontend role right now, would I be able to move to full stack again or not?

How does it work in general

SDE role discussion

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 vs Backend

I have 3 yrs of experience after my graduation, 8 months of backend experience and  from past 2.4 months I am into  frontend project. 

Now I'm planning to switch trying to start preparation. I have ready with DSA rounds , coming with system design rounds I have a  confusion. Should I need to prepare for frontend or backend system design topics

If I joined in another company should i start my carrer as a sde2 or sde1. If i join for SDE2 position can i catch backend to team standard.

Career Guidance

I have 2 years of experience with Javascript. I work mostly with UI's but I'm also very comfortable with Node js. I'm not looking to switch jobs. For now I want to learn DSA basically to become a better developer and a problem solver. Any approaches on how do i start? Do i need a statically typed language for better understanding?

How to transition from frontend to backend development?

( RANT ) 
Currently in my 2nd year of engineering in a good college in Bangalore . I am worrying a lot about career , my day starts with thinking about interships, skills, studies and ends with which career to pursue , startups / big MNC . All my day I am worrying. I know this should not be the case but I can't help , nobody around me are thinking about future, I can't discuss with anyone, they just chill and enjoy. 
Has they are from CS / EC , there placements are secured which is not the case with me. 
I know I should be focused on CGPA and skills ,but these thoughts scare me a lot , I don't know where should I focus on , which direction I should start working, no guidance, nothing.
like this only 2022 passed. I have plans to pursue MBA .
How to stop worrying

Worrying a lot about career

Can i switch my career from frontend to backend as I am having 3.5 years of experience in react. If I can, than how, as whenever I try to do so i am not shortlisted for backend role. Also in my company it's difficult to switch as they are not allowing to do so ? 

Thanks in advance 😃😃
