8 YOE, I'm a C# dev, I've only worked with monolithic applications. It looks like they'll expect me to create a microservice packaged in docker (I've never created a microservice or a docker package). Also, perhaps use a frontend package like react (never touched that either). They're going to ask me to build a small application -- I think it's going to take me at least 2 weeks to prepare all this. Has anyone gone through this before? What was it like? Have any tips? I'm planning to youtube on how to do all this - create a crud microservice and a crud flat html/css interface. Here's what they're going to test: Craft Demo Exercise Prior to the Interview day, please have the following available: Web frameworks/libraries i.e. Create React App for Front-End or Awesomestacks.dev for Full-Stack boilerplate setups to allow for a “Hello World” app running in advance. Please do not start from an existing project. Database of choice or in-memory database Technology used for packaging an application to run your solution (ex: Docker, Tomcat, Static Binary, etc.) *** Please Note: You will be given a Full-Stack exercise. Given the time limit, if you find that you are more comfortable completing either the back-end portion or front-end portion, please focus on the side you are strongest in. *** #intuit #interview #fullstack #engineering #swe
Don’t trust them if they say they don’t care about your stack. Just went through a 5hr interview at Hashicorps where I did well. I am a React expert meanwhile they used Ember, in the application itself and from beginning they said it didn’t matter. In the end they told me they would like an expert in Ember because they think I might struggle a bit with Ember which is true and expected.
Recruiter wasted everyone’s time to fill his quota
Got it, no need to prep outside of leetcode
Op. How did it go?
You might not like to hear this, but it doesn’t sound like you’re suited for the role. React is pretty unique pattern to learn especially coming from a monolithic C# background. You also have to learn Docker well enough to run/package/build your Dockerfile in a 1 hour interview (I assume here). Not sure how soon your interview is, but to get it to interview ready level isn’t something you can YouTube a few days before. These interviews generally ask you to create a one page React app like a calendar or something backed by backend controller with data persistence of your choosing.
I agree. Even if you pass the interviews, you'll struggle at actual job. I'd suggest to learn these stuff side by side, or join a team who do this in your existing company.
I've told them I've not touched react & angular and they're still progressing me to the 5 hr interview session. Guess I did decent with the algorithm. Thanks for the hard truth, that's what I wanted to hear to be honest.
