Thank you for the amazing reading! I wish I had read that in 2020 when I was looking for my first job as FE dev. In my experience from that time the very small companies are very lost/or very outdated in how they interview and look for people. The company that ended up hiring me was definitely not clear of what they expected from me and the way they worked (nor their current stack), they just said "We are looking for a React or Angular developer". It was also the only one to conduct in person interviews in a pandemic year. What I really did the past year was: 2/3 of my time writing dotNet for BE and the rest developing from the ground a new design system (with a fellow designer) for the React FE.
It's being challenging and a great learning opportunity, but I wish I knew what to ask beforehand to fill the gaps in their lack of infos. So thanks again for the great tips 🎉 I'll definitely keep them in mind for my next job hunting.
** Don't get me wrong, I'm very glad for the opportunity they gave me. They took a chance on someone over 30yo that didn't have a CS degree nor working experience in the field. And as I understand I was the only one that actually delivered the homework assignment that has an API not properly configured for CORS and not documented at all....
