4.5L to 40L in 4 years.
Hi guys. So this is not a brag and I don't know if this progression is good in today's market or not.
I went from a 4.5 LPA package in 2020 from service based company to gradually 40LPA(base) in startups. If anyone has any doubts related to career progression ask me anything. I'm writing this since in the beginning I wished for some similar guidance.
Tech stack(Frontend heavy): React, React Native, Angular, Svelte, NodeJs and entire Frontend ecosystem.
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile š
brother, how should one prepare for heavy package frontend roles? what should be expected of those in interview? what's day to day job looks like. I have 3 years experience but I don't know if i m doing great work ot whatever. One thing i need is salary too. Can you guide me? Also can you specify resources for both interview and being a good frontend engineer
To be honest I did not used much resources explicitly for anything. It's scattered self learning. Mostly learnt by experience.
For FE preparation, most of the interviews focus on following:
- Javascript fundamentals and advanced. I used javascript.info for this and lot's of practical hands-on.
- React concepts deep dive. Initially I learnt from udemy. But advance concepts learnt from experience and patterns.dev + react documentation.
- System design/machine coding. Design and code features. Here they give you a document of required features and UI and how to code that in optimised way. This I mastered from pure experience and lot's of self projects.
- Some ask linear DSA as well. This is I never prepared for explicitly. I did a lot of competitive programming in my college days so well versed with concepts.
Also, I got the current role by demonstrating pure Javascript knowledge and building complex features by working part time for a startup for 6 months. And other things didn't mattered.
I have heard people say their frontend career is stagnant or almost a history and don't get calls because of ChatGPTs and other AI tools. How true is the impact of AI tools?
I believe that's a matter of opinion and opportunity. Personally, chatGPT and Claude are great tools to help developers 10x their productivity by providing solutions to repetitive logics.
But for complex solutions and architectural decisions genAI wasn't upto the mark. I can argue the pro's and con's and write an entire article on my experience with genAI. But the gist is, so far, it hasn't replaced but improved FE developers. You gotta know what to wite in prompt right? Anyone can make a website or an app with chatgpt easily. But to get scalable, maintainable, optimised code with proper dev tooling with minimal downtime is another story.
Congratulations on your growth man. Truly inspiring! I'm a final year MCA student from tier 3 unknown college. I have zero knowledge about programming and coding. It will be really helpful if you could guide me?
Congrats brotherš„³. I am too working as frontend dev. Can i DM you if you dont mind?
Iām at 20 base, planning to switch in few months. How can i justify asking 40?
How can I connect with you
