As a frequent interviewer and a full stack dev, I can tell you that all 3 of those interviewers did a bad job and they shouldn’t have treated you like that. They committed a couple of interviewing sins:
All of these speak more about them than you. I’m sorry you had to experience that.
The whole stack is a wonderful journey that I hope everyone gets the opportunity to dabble in and to enjoy. Go forth and learn what makes you excited. Don’t let bad interviewers drive your career. But it sounds like your passion is UI at the moment, so I hope you enjoy it. Best of luck and congrats on being part of a wonderful career. Cheers. :)
True, most questions were just all about definitions, though it has its advantages of knowing it, but you won't write those code in your every day life as a full-stack engineer. Seems like they just want a hard-core back-end engineer with front-end skills
I was interested land in full stack jobs positions too, in my case, I like more frontend and Mobile than backend and DB. Now, I only apply for frontend or react developer, I feel more confidence with frontend
I'm just the opposite, I prefer the backend, database, api integrations, business logic, devops...it's what I live for.
I have been moving between front and back end for some years.From my experience theres no such thing as fullstack engineer. its always frontend dev with capabity to write backend and vice versa. I would never ask fullstack engineer to design system architecture. His/hers understanding is in 99% cases not deep enough
Also with 10 yoe i can tell you frontend is no joke once you work on real large scale project exposed to internet your head starts spinning :). Good luck with your journey
I was full stack developer, But finaly i found you cant go deep as much as needed.
It's true. But the team I've been on for the last two years has had a spectrum, we had a couple of solid front end specialists, I was the backend engineer, and we had a handful of full-stack types who were able to float back and forth as tasks came up. I think starting out as a full stack is a great start, but then as you progress in your career you should begin to specialize.
The same like me, tried to find a job with title full stack develop.
I thought if my fontend skill not so good, backend can save me.
But sadly, company just want to find the best developer that fit for position.
And I like the guy know many thing but not pro at anything :(
Fullstack is cool, but now a day, application is separated, team is separated
Focus on one side will make you easy landing a job.
Fact: they always ask more Backend question in Fullstack interview -_-
In my experience, full-stack is a bit of a hoax.
Yes, i have met a few very impressive developers with a deep understanding of both back-end and front-end needs and challenges, however most of the full-stack developers I've met (the vast majority) were actually either skilled back-end developers with mediocre skills in front-end, or not-here-nor-there developers.
They were very good, most of them, but couldn't deal with the 'magic' that's sometimes required of skilled true frontend developers.
I am a fullstack. fullstackoverflow
You can also try to apply to fullstack JS jobs.
At least you'll have js experience and grow node.js experience on the way down.
Bonus, your team will really appreciate your frontend skills since if the stack is full JS, they certainly know about frontend.
I think the interviewers did a bad job. I will say, don't use the 3 bad experience and conclude that all is going to be like that. I feel you should close the full stack chapter, since you already have some knowledge about it.
I have been working as s Frontend engineer for 5+ years now. So initially I started with angular ionic then moved on to react in my second org and currently working with react, node.
In all three orgs I have been part of, I feel that frontend has a lot that actually meets the eyes.
From performance optimization to code coverage to modular components.
There is a lot that can be done in frontend.
I would continue to identify myself as a frontend developer with some backend experience.
Thanks
Frontend developers also need to know more and more backend stuff if they are working with Jamstack. Try building a large frontend in Next.js or Nuxt.js without knowing at least some Node.js...
Whatever way you go, heere you can find a Job, even remote :-)
