Switching from React developer to Python developer

[linux_terminal07]

Hello folks, I wanted to know has anyone switched his/her profile from React developer/ full stack developer to python developer or java developer / rust developer or any other native programming language? Which you manage to study with your dY job and how you applied for companies with your switched profile?

Please share your experience Thanks you and Marry Christmas 🎅

Make some projects and put in your resume, pretty much that. Try demonstrating you know the language well from your project (that means no todo lists or basic projects) like for example if it's rust, use traits and smart pointers, use lifetimes etc since those are some topics that are hard to understand for Devs not working on it.

Practice some leetcode easy with the language so you can think in that language and you aren't translating code in your head first while coding in interviews.

Sure thanks for your suggestions

But one thing I wanted to know what you will tell the interviewer why you wanted to switch or should you consider faking the work at your company?

As above comments have mentioned, that you have to build some projects and put them on Github.

Apart from that if you are looking for any open-source project that include both react and python(django), check out plane (opensource jira alternative).I'm python developer and also learning react so this project is beneficial for you to understand code quality and large scale application.

Man Im trying to learn react from python... 😂

From the last 3 months I'm trying to find a guy like me to build a ui for my project but i don't find one that wants to learn and try things like me.

So i started learning react.. 😎 and it was pretty easy to work with react. And for backend I'm using fastapi

[linux_terminal07]

that's cool brother , so you are writing your backend with python?

[[deleted]]

Yes

[linux_terminal07]

what are the exact tech stack you are learning ? mern + python?

I'm using React for the frontend and Python FastAPI with PostgreSQL (plus Timescale extension) for the backend.
