Preparing for a front-end developer position at a major tech company

Hey everyone! I’ve got a big interview coming up for a front-end dev role at a major tech company. I’m feeling a bit nervous and could use some advice. Has anyone gone through this process before? What should I expect?

I’ve already done two rounds of data structure and algorithm questions. Now I’m facing a domain-specific front-end round. I’m not sure if it’ll involve live coding or what kind of environment they’ll use.

I’ve got a few days left to prepare and I want to make the most of it. What areas should I focus on? Any tips for standing out?

I’ve done front-end interviews before, but I’m not sure how this company’s process differs. Any insights would be super helpful!

Thanks in advance for any advice you can share!

Having gone through similar interviews, I can share some insights. Focus on mastering DOM manipulation, event handling, and asynchronous JavaScript. Companies often test these core skills. Familiarize yourself with modern build tools and module bundlers like Webpack or Rollup. They might ask about your experience with version control systems and CI/CD pipelines. Be prepared to discuss trade-offs in front-end architecture decisions. Lastly, review common design patterns and how they apply to front-end development. Remember to articulate your problem-solving approach clearly during the interview. This demonstrates your thought process, which is often as important as the solution itself.

ooh, exciting! have u considered practicing some coding challenges on codepen or jsfiddle? those platforms r great for simulating live coding environments. also, maybe look into web accessibility standards? its becoming a hot topic in front-end dev. what kinda projects have u worked on before? curious to hear ur experience!

hey there! i went thru something similar last year. my advice: brush up on js frameworks (react/vue), css layouts, and browser apis. they might ask about performance optimization or responsive design. practice explaining ur thought process out loud. don’t forget to ask questions too – shows ur interested. good luck!
