Recent technical rounds for senior React roles included tasks like recursive folder displays, a JavaScript-only slider, paginated lists, debounce inputs, API call simulations, an event manager, class-based accordions, and both async await and then API fetching.
Drawing upon my experience, I have learned that tackling diverse frontend challenges, especially in interviews, requires not only a deep understanding of JavaScript and React fundamentals but also an ability to simplify complex tasks. For example, I found recursive folder displays or class-based accordions to be excellent tests of my component design philosophy and debugging skills. It is crucial to break down the problem, implement a minimal working solution, and then incrementally enhance it. This systematic approach helps me ensure clarity and effectiveness under interview conditions.
i had similar challngs. starting with a simple solution then addin more features worked best for me. async and recursive tasks pushed me hard, but it taught me more about debugging quickly. stick with it and learn from each error.
hey luke_thunder, i was wonderin how you kept it all straight when adding new features and debuggin async goodies? i found that a bit of trial and error really improved my approach. what do you think helps the most when under timde pressure?
