Got a interview coming up, and im just wondering how much CSS they are expecting me to know off the top of my head. Are they expecting me to replicate a template without running it? Or will I be able to compile it as I type?

Also how much accesibility knowledge are you guys kooking for in a interview setting? Thanks in advance

  • We expect you have intermediate CSS knowledge.

    Accessibility is actually pretty big here at LinkedIn. We don’t expect you to know all the aria tags, but you need to have that general awareness to bring it up during interview and have thoughtful discussion with the interviewer.

    It’s a red flag if none of the interview feedback has this.

      CSS is important, and accessibility is indeed important, but awareness is key

      As far as FE interview "practicality", unfortunately That's false. Totally depends on who's interviewing you and how junior they are or what kind of chip is on their shoulder that day. I've seen some ask hard algorithm Q's and or ask irrelevant Q's and judge the candidate solely on how they answered that one question.

      OP
      Oh wow, that’s annoying. I guess I’ll resign to the fact that I might be at the mercy of a new grad with a superiority complex. Thanks for the insight
