Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am pursuing a backend specialization with Scaler despite having 5 years of experience in frontend. My current designation is Senior UI Developer. Will this create a negative impact on my resume? I have included backend projects to showcase my skills. Can you please advise on what I should do?

Transition from UI to backend

Transition from UI to backend- Grapevine

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 😃😃

Need to switch from frontend to backend

How can I prove my expertise with backend? Any projects which I can make? (purely backend) i mean no ui, which are hard to sell and hard to prove that they work. I am thinking of doing some pet projects however all of them have js which I hate, given I prefer backend.

Backend

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?

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

Hi everyone,

I have 6+ years of experience working as Senior Software Engineer on Javascript Stack (React on Frontend and Node..js  on backend)
My current TC is 22 Lpa 
I have not tried hardcore problem solving on leetcode but instead would like to use that time to sharpen my skillset on learning new frameworks and best practices. Should I try to jump as Senior Ui engineer in product based mnc’s as I have also seem senior leadership positions  in UI on linked in with basic problem solving and would like to see if there is drawback in just going as ui vs backend and also what should be the positions and salary which I can expect in that experience. 
Please ping for additional details. Thanks

Should i learn backend?

Frontend Engineer

Hey folks,
I am a senior software engineer at Swiggy working in as a mobile engineer for the past 5 years.
I have worked on few backend & infra stack in past companies (node js, go-lang, kubernetes, s3, etc) just for exploring and expanding my horizon.
I am thinking of seriously perusing this now.

What are my options here? I am open to learning via online course / my own side projects.

Also how to approach for hiring given it won’t be my expertise but I am willing to be hired at a lower package for the long term benefits.

Reason to consider a transition is boredom with working in a single domain.

How to transition to a backend engineer role from frontend

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!

Interview w Google

I'm a frontend dev, with close to 5 years of workex. I've been trying to switch to a full stack dev role for a couple of years now. Tried switching internally, but it didn't work because there were too many backend devs and too much dependency. 

Stuck with an infinite leetcode loop, did online courses but couldn't put those skills to work in building projects.
 
I'm looking for some advice with a focus on cracking the interviews. The plan is to take up a Full stack dev role in the next 3 months. 

Thanks in advance!

How did you switch from fronted to a backend/full-stack role?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I'm currently working as a Frontend Engineer at leading FinTech in India. I'm doing great in my current role(IMO). I also contribute to open source libraries on weekends.
Maybe it is FOMO or my learning curve being relatively flat, recently I'm feeling I don't want to type cast myself as a frontend engineer and explore backend as well. I might get promoted to senior role this appraisal cycle. My current org (specifically my managers) don't want me to contribute in backend services as there are already plenty devs in backend.

How to go about this? I can't switch since, no company would hire a folk as a senior backend developer with 0 backend experience.

Seeking Resume Advice: 2 Years of DevOps and Backend Experience – What to Highlight?

I joined industry as a front-end engineer back in April, 2022 and now i am feeling like expanding my horizon of skills and start doing backend.

Transition from Front-end to Back-end role

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.🙏

How to transition from frontend to backend development?

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

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 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?
