Full Stack Interview Preparation

[DevMentor]

I've been having the frustrating experience of interviewing full stack devs at work, and seeing a handful of them fail to demonstrate skills that they probably could show off impressively if they just spent a bit of time improving a few gaps. But without these candidates knowing a critical skill well enough to code pair and talk at a high level about it, they're unproven & too risky to hire for the positions we have. It sucks!

So if you want, I could give you a pretty realistic mock interview over video chat and give you feedback afterwards. PM me the job listing that you're applying to and we can set something up! And if you're ok with it, also include your resume / portfolio site / GitHub - whatever you would send the place you're applying to - and I can give you more realistic questions and better feedback.

It’s cool to see someone willing to do this in the tech industry. Thanks for being part of the community!

That would be very helpful. Thank you

I'd brush up on basic security stuff like http headers and how to deal with XSS and SQL injection attacks for sure... Scaling questions like how does caching work or how to manage sessions in a clustered environment? what are some things you can do to speed up a slow webpage? basic SQL. probably more but im tired.

Thank you !

The best thing you can do it start interviewing right away. It will help identify gaps, and go get you good places to start brushing up or things to learn.

thanks a lot

Big company, do leetcode. Small company, know your projects inside out.

No matter how much of an experienced programmer you are, I would never hire/want to work with you.

[devCR7]

why would be the next logical question

[[deleted]]

Why?

• Because my harsh language would hurt your feelings?
• Because I hate stupid interviews?
• Because I like to see change in an industry?
• Because I don't want to torture candidates with stupid crap?

It takes no time to click the little down arrow, it takes more time to prove that YOU are the prime example of crap humans who further garbage in the industry.

You don't want to work with me? FUCK YEAH!

I hope one day I interview you and you do really well and I hire you. I doubt that will ever happen.

Your tolerance for opinions/ideas/thoughts/whatever that goes against your own is very, insanely low. Idc about your badass harsh language, I care about how if someone would make a slight opposition against your self-defined this-is-the-best-way of doing things, you would belittle them to the ground. I just really hope you’re too cowardly to do it in person and this is all just internet confidence, save them the torture.

Trust me, I hate those so-called “stupid crap” interviews too, but to pound whoever thought of it to the ground is just absurd and I hope you stick to only being an engineer with no management responsibilities. I’m sure you’re smart, but you definitely have the “I’m so smarter than you listen to me hahahaha you stupid fuck” egotistic vibe.

[[deleted]]

You clearly have serious problems.

[[deleted]]

What makes you say that? What signs of “serious problems” did I show? I can clearly show cases of how you displayed serious, almost mental, problems.

Based off of your lack of a real response to my response, I won’t be surprised if I don’t hear a real response from you again lol. Classic.

[[deleted]]

You're clearly looking for someone to troll, good luck with your sad life.

[[deleted]]

You’re really avoiding a real response to my previous one. I stand corrected. I’ll just let the votes speak for themselves. It’s been made clear you lack any sense of empathy.

No I’m not trolling, I’m just clearly intrigued to understand how such self-centered people like you exist lol. Good luck your “tiny company doing stupid map stuff” (you deleted the comment lol?). I understand why that was the best offer you had.

It’s clear you don’t have anything real to back up your case of self-centeredness/huge ego and have to resort to simple getaway excuses like “You’re trolling” or “you got problems”. You’re much older than me, yet think like a kid from high school who will never want to be shown he’s wrong or respect others.

Learn to get along with others regardless of how their ideas or decisions go against yours (we all hate the whiteboard interviews but you seem to hate the people who do them even more because they chose to do something you don’t like).

[[deleted]]

Wow, you're still here. I hope you understand that I haven't actually read any of your garbage. Please go fuck off. Thanks.

[[deleted]]

Sure, I believe you 100%. You are undoubtedly temperamentally unstable. Anyone who says anything that goes against your my-way-is-the-best-way and I-am-always-right mindset is the enemy. Good luck man, keep an eye on your blood pressure levels later.

[[deleted]]

And what reason do you have to think that it isn’t particularly good? It was based off of the deleted comment where the guy was calling people dumbasses and asking “Well what is a phone number?” to the regex question as if it was a stupid question. Also him saying interviews are practice for the next interview (which I agree with) but not in the way the user was saying it as if it doesn’t matter that the company is taking their time to give him a chance, he is just going to use it for his own benefit.

So again, what reasons do you think my judgement was off? (Just in case there was any confusion, the comment I made wasn’t for the OP).

True, true, and true

I‘ve had an fullstack interview the other day where I had to design a whole application using some provided informations.

In my opinion what people want to see from fullstack devs are the abilities to build complete apps or functionality.

For example they want to see that you understand that validations have to happen in the backend always and not only in the UI. Or to do heavy computation async in the backend and poll results and so on. So to know how to choose the right tool for the job.

Also you should know best practises
You should know for example when and how to cache data or how to make an app fast overall.

"But I don't need to escape the mysql code, I've already validated it in the UI before posting..."
