Hey everyone, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Have any of you successfully aced an interview solely through tutorials, YouTube, or side projects without hands-on work experience? I am a SDET exploring a transition to SDE role, internally tried within my company ,not happening due to various reasons, hence trying to switch over. In order to achieve that, I've worked on full-stack sidd projects, practiced DSA, and made a good "tailored" CV that gets me interview calls. But I am currently facing mixed experiences in interviews. I am able to answer a few but struggle with some questions and seek advice on how to improve. Any suggestions for this career switch are greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton
For freshers it might be possible but after 1-2 yoe they would figure it out if you have worked with any of the technology or you are faking it
I am having 2YOE, is it like impossible since I started with Test automation and will be continuing ever with it? I'm trying hard to switch(internally & externally)
U have to fake it as 2 yoe developer no one is gonna hire you from test unless you want to start as fresher from sde 1
Do let me know your experiences on this as am also trying from a long time for this switch badly but failing after clearing the dsa rounds. They ask complex counter questions on our daily tasks which i struggle with. Is my experience too much to switch now 3+ yoe?
depends on the companies and interviews. If they ask only DSA then yes
You should be able to do it. Fake that you are a developer in your team and start going through the code base.
