10 YOE at none-FAANGs doing front-end mobile dev, now trying to study to hopefully transition into FAANG or FAANG-adjacent. I did interview (rejected) with Microsoft at the beginning of my journey 10+ years ago. Practicing the LCs now and comparing to the problems from back then, gotta say it's gotten SIGNIFICANTLY harder. Back then it was mostly easy-mediums and a much smaller pool of possible problems. System design problems are also FAR more academic now. Saturated and recession tech market with an uncertain future with ML and LLC, second-guessing my career path at every turn.
My front end expert subscription runs out on May 25th, and I get to retry my quiz on May 8th after failing it a couple times. I have been using it for almost a year on and off during my two year web programming course. Thank you for creating it. Some of my teachers had really heavy accents, and people like me learn better from other instructors who are more in depth and clear with learning principles like you. I have practiced doing each question, like tictactoe and sudoku, on the spot with my parents too. and show them the stuff i create Thank you for making it. The quiz is tough, as you say but I reviewed it,and I'm ready to get my certificate and put it on my website and github profile. TY for making front end expert bro. You made me alot better at CSS too..
Ah yes, "please implement a trie from scratch" because that will be very useful for a frontend dev. Most interview questions deserve a chatgpt answer, as sometimes, the other person just wants you to know that they have read a book once and memorized it
Lol I had basically his exact interview once, but with a hashmap. They literally handed me a piece of paper and watched me implement a hashmap without saying a word to me the whole time. Was weird vibes 😅
@@ConnerArdman Yikes, I wish I had the balls to ask "so is this what my project manager is going to ask of me every sprint?" or "is this what you are shipping to the users?"
I graduated in late 2021 with a BS in software engineering, currently finishing my masters in AI and ML and have been a jr software emgineer at my first job for 2.5 years now (full stack). I feel underpayed (65k). Im nervous about exploring my options because im not very good tbh and the company I started with took me in knowing I was a beginner.
65k with a Master's is criminal tbh, if you're able to complete a masters focusing in AI and ML, you're definitely more capable than you're giving yourself credit for
Feeling underpaid is a psychological issue. Feel grateful to have a job you love, and are getting paid to learn. It's only the beginning of your career. Keep learning and doing what you love. Pay will come eventually.
Is it necessary to know how to implement tree or any other data structure in code? or you know the data structures in theory and need to learn how they are used in particular problem?
For trees and linked lists, you should know how to implement them because it’s like 5 lines lol. A lot of places start with an empty editor for tree questions and expect you to quickly add the class. For graphs, you should also know because there are a lot of graph questions disguised as something else and most languages don’t have built in graphs. Everything else, I think it is good information to know, but very unlikely you’ll need to use it. I did have to implement a hashmap in an interview once though 🤷♂️
For the most part yes - although with more focus on frontend interviews instead of just data structures and algorithms. You’ll want to be prepared for both.
Thanks! A lot of these suggestions are the same for frontend interviews, but I made a video on frontend specifically a while back. I don’t think much has changed in my opinions here except maybe that you could utilize ChatGPT as an additional tool now. ruclips.net/video/YM-9nPLqezQ/видео.html
These interviews honestly suck. Most of it is memory based and doesn't translate to what you do on the job IMO. Like the data structures you use and the algorithms you use are used but most devs I worked with for internships and in general don't have that stuff memorized. They just think of how they want to solve it, research it, optimize it better and then have it solved
I'm 24M don't have any job, living at my mom basement therefore, I really really want to get a job like any job. So, Is starting of with MERN would be good idea or I should look for other niche........ Any recommandation will be appriciated😅,
So im screwed because im self taught and have been working for the last 8 years and dont have the time to completely go learn a school curriculum just to get another job doing what i already do. Why not just give candidates practical software to build. Trying to someone on a dumb gotcha school challenge that will never apply to what you actually do in the job is so dumb
All these people aiming for FAANG, I'm just trying to get hired by literally anyone
Same, I'm about to graduate this summer and I'm kind of freaking out. Lol
@@jn2869tell me how did it go with you
@@jn2869 Same bruv, my graduation is tomorrow 💀
Did you ever find a job?
@@organicmicrowave6989 Nah. It's kinda over for me
I was scared before watching this video, now im terrified 😥
"We aren't training short-term memory. We are training problem-solving" Golden words 😇
this is great, focusing on all fundamentals first before moving on the challenges

The video length is 8:53 and the thumbnail shows 853 problems. Coincidence?
Hello sir, is this the room for autistic people? I'd like to join
Very helpful and informative. Thanks!
Hi Conner, thank you for your content!
Any recommendation for which courses to take for the Data Structure?
Thanks for the tips bro! You can be sure that was very useful to me.

Amazing consolidated video, thanks a lot
Does this also apply to front end engineers?
For the most part yes - although with more focus on frontend interviews instead of just data structures and algorithms. You’ll want to be prepared for both.
Really active for your new video.
❤❤❤
Great video! Can you please make a video for front-end engineer interviews?
Thanks! A lot of these suggestions are the same for frontend interviews, but I made a video on frontend specifically a while back. I don’t think much has changed in my opinions here except maybe that you could utilize ChatGPT as an additional tool now.

lol it’s a year now , what did u end up doing?
I also want to know@@pearlsilver2648
If I have interview in 2 weeks what should I do sir ?
Just practice and put in your best
