Need help in switching position
Hi folks, I have 2.5 yr of experience in react native and JavaScript combined with current CTC of 12 LPA. Few months of experience in frontend. Currently I want to switch from my react native position to frontend position without taking a pay cut. How much is it different from react native and where should I be focusing the most. Reason for switching: I am not comfortable in current organisation with the way management works and I am also tired of react native.
Get good at html, css and js. I never had a frontend dev do anything more than figma file and three.js + css code!
Also much of the the concepts are same and you’ll still have to do all work as a frontend developer too.!
Anything else? Also do i tell companies specifically how much experience I have in frontend and react native
Really depends yoe is not too important all that matters is skill.
Disclaimer: Not a web guy.
I am assuming by FE you mean web FE, this would really depend on the framework that an org is using. If other orgs are using React as their FE, IMO the major difference would be CSS. The language would remain the same JS/TS. Another difference would be how the web works in general, local storage, DOM manipulation, redirection to pages instead of screens etc. And also you gotta learn HTML. But the react/redux/JS knowledge would be transferable. Would recommend making webpages in react and host them somewhere to show your React skills.
Also make sure you know how to center a div 😉
Any help or feedback would be appreciated.
