I'm a Frontend Engineer (React JS) with around 5 years of experience. I have recently started focusing on levelling up my technical skills to land a Senior Frontend Role at a MANG level company. My timeline is ~ 6-9 months.
Resources I am currently using:
1. Web dev by Google : to revise and improve my knowledge of web development basics.
2. Patterns.dev : To learn about various JS patterns.
3. Greatfrontend.com : To level up on system design.
4. Leetcode : DSA & Algorithms
Would like to know if fellow developers have any advice for me! :)

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have 3 YOE and have been working exclusively with React, Typescript and NextJS throughout my career.

Wanted to know how and what resources I can use to upskill myself with more in-depth knowledge in frontend. 

Primarily looking for frontend system architecture LLDs and HLDs, building microfrontends and explore any newer technologies in demand.

Any good AWS cloud provider courses dedicated towards frontend developers.

Thanks in advance for any good books, courses.

Intern

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.

Moving from Frontend to Backend/Fullstack roles?

I’m currently a Frontend Senior Software Engineer. Mainly my work resolves around optimising web performances. Lately, I’ve feeling very unmotivated as I feel like I’m wasting my potential in my current company even though the work here is not entirely bad. Need some advice on how to handle this scenario and if switching to a bigger better company would help. If so how do I prepare for FANG level frontend interviews?

Need advice

Hey everyone, I am a Junior FE Dev (from my prev work title coz my exp is 1YoE). Have been working extensively on React.JS and Redux. My previous company was great. I was loving it. Sadly a few months ago, I was laid off. I still don't know the reason behind why I was one of the laid off people. Anyway, I moved on from that depression and started searching for a new job from last month. Made it to final rounds in pretty much every interview I sat for. But then got rejected in final round for crazy reasons including "we currently don't have funds to hire you". One of them even said they are on hiring freeze, literally in the final round 🥲. 

Haven't been able to get a job anywhere. I don't know if my skills aren't enough to be hired or is it something else. "What's hot in FE right now ? Like what skills can fetch me a job ?" - Started asking this myself as well as some of my good friends, but they say don't learn skills for getting job, learn it for yourself. Though it's true, I don't have much savings to support myself for atleast a month. So, I have to get into a job to keep myself from going bonkers under the financial crunch that I can clearly see ahead of myself if I stay unemployed in the next 20 days.

Yes, the tech market is in its winter season. I understand that, but I still see there are so many openings in the market for ppl with 1YoE like me and skillset that matches mine, yet I never hear back from them or just get rejected in final rounds 😕.

I'm absolutely clueless on what to do right now. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Please guide ne best community to practise JS

I have 1.5 YoE as a frontend developer in an early stage startup. 

I need help with deciding where do I go from here? Do I deep dive into frontend? Do I try to move to full stack?

Things to consider:
- I am from a non CS background
- frontend in India seems to be a bit saturated, especially for entry/mid level roles.

I'd appreciate your advice, thanks :)

Planning my career as a frontend developer

After working for 2 years as a Frontend dev fresh out of college, I was looking to prep for a change now. 

A lot of what I searched about frontend interviews involved JS/HTML/CSS and some framework-specific fundamentals which makes sense. However, I've also seen a lot about people brushing up on algorithms, practising leetcode which I found painful since it rarely pops up in actual work, if at all.

Any idea on what I should focus on? Or any help when navigating the interview process?

Interview prep as a Frontend Dev?

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!

Job switch prepration strategy

Hey everyone, as the title suggests, I'm a self-taught developer and am currently planning to start my job search. I'm originally from a finance background. 
I need a few tips on how to create an impressive CV for someone with no work experience.
Is there anyone who shifted to tech coming from a non-IT background, or someone whose profile is very similar to mine? I would greatly appreciate any useful pointers. 
Thanks! :)

Senior Frontend folks on Grapevine, how do you guys go about lld and hld rounds for frontend role?
There are no good resources on youtube. Those only give you the solution without explaining the thought process required to get to a solution. From where should a person learn if they want to learn. 
Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Frontend System Design

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?
