Switch Suggestions

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.

Brief about me - I have around a year of experience working as a Frontend developer, primarily with ReactJS. Its been some time since I touched the basics and tbh I've not given time to it earlier also (i switched fields and prepare in around 8 months mostly doing DSA and Frontend development) I am looking for advice to for the preparation strategy to move to new job, I am looking for roles in frontend/Full stack development. Please tell me the essentials I should have under my bag and some of the things to give my resume an edge Thank you.

I am a JAVA backend dev, currently in TCS with 5.5 yrs of exp. I want to switch to a Product now. My dev skills are good. I have worked in few projects. With this many years of exp, the expectations are too high now, System Design, Kafka, Jenkins, Docker and DSA on top of that. I don't know how to start, once I start preparing DSA I feel like I am missing on reading system design and other stuff. Also, I don't feel confident about my DSA skills. Are there any devs here who were very bad in DSA but are very confident now. Please share your experiences in comments. Since I already have so many years of exp, this is my last chance to switch to a good product company. Please guide.

I am a backend developer working in java. I am working in the same company for the last 7+ years. How should I prepare for interviews? Should I focus on ds and algo, core java concepts or only system design is asked at this level? PS - not fixed on FAANG. Just want to join a good product company

I am a software engineer with 2+years of experience at a product based company. My current CTC is around 10 lpa which I feel is below market standards. Also my wlb is terrible and growth at my current organisation has become stagnant. I mostly work on bug fixes and some minor feature enhancements. What are the skills that are required to switch to a product based company as soon as possible with at least 15-17 lpa ? Currently I am not aiming for big tech ( FAANG) type companies as I know these will require thorough DSA , System design preparations which is not possible with my current job.

Hi all, I have around 2 years of experience, and I am getting a chance to interview with Google. I am currently working on frontend, but I want to move to backend and I have been preparing for that, but with phone screen round coming up, if I tell them I have worked on Frontend, then I will definitely be considered for frontend role and if I lie there, then I might fuck up interview if they ask backend questions, any suggestions will be appreciated. What should I be doing in this case, Thank you! Please advise!

Hey Guys, I’m a front end developer closing in on 10YOE. Looking at the current market, I want to be interview ready before push comes to the shove. However I am looking for resources for system design rounds. I have seen companies have different expectations for system design from front end roles. Thanks in Advance. Cheers!

Hi, I'm a software engineer with close to 6 YOE. This is my second company and I feel pretty stagnant here working for 3 years and see no growth. I've started preparing. Is DSA still being asked in the interviews even for people with experience ? How many rounds are there usually and what is being tested? Your advice would be very much appreciated :)
