The man I love hates me because I’m Vietnamese
Hello folks, I am curious to know and also preparing for the front end positions especially for FAANG companies( Google top priority). I have more than 6 months of work experience building websites from scratch using HTML5, CSS3 and vanilla JavaScript. Targeting positions have 1+ year experience. Can anyone shed on how to prepare for the interview and also would like to hear the compensation/salary Thanks! #frontend #softwareadvice #softwareengineer #career #tech #interview #softwareengineersalary #compensation #google #amazon #facebook #microsoft #apple
Plenty of material about this elsewhere, but I can recap my own experience. I interviewed as a front-end candidate and now conduct regular front-end interviews myself. At Google, front-end engineers are supposed to be well-rounded, fungible engineers who can work across the stack, though they may have some specialized domain knowledge in FE. Many FE engineers I know transferred from a backend team who then picked up HTML/CSS/JS on the job. Google tries to avoid hiring strictly "HTML hackers". The interview process will reflect this. At L3, which I assume to be the level you're targeting, there will be a mix of traditional data structures/algo rounds and front-end oriented rounds. Usually 1/2 FE rounds and 2/3 data structure rounds. FE rounds tend to feature various domain problems: "build this widget", profile and make this webapp faster, handling async behavior.. etc. They are not supposed to dive into what I call HTML/CSS/JS trivia. You won't get any points for having memorized the definition of a closure, or what the `* + *` selector does in CSS. FE rounds in particular are somewhat more difficult to prepare for. A lot of times, it comes down to the candidate's own experience. Maybe all they had built were Wordpress-like websites, and never had the chance to encounter latency issues or to build widgets with complex interactions. Not much special insight into comp/salary. I don't think FE engineers are on a different "band"... I think they are just considered "regular" engineers.
Great answer thank you
Thanks, For sharing your experience. Got to know a lot.
