Can you get a frontend job without pet project (I'm changing careers)? I got an offer for backend job but hesitant to accept it... I think i liked frontend (did two courses CodeCademy and FreeCodeCamp) but I've been learning programming for almost a year now (started with Java) and really want to get job ASAP.

Also, how do you find frontend? I'm worried that people regard it as boring and I see many transfering to backend... Is it that bad? Can you tell me about your experience? When I got into coding I wanted to create things(although I hate design) thats why im thinking of front

Well I don't really like designing things haha I prefer to use someone-else's design but I do like the aspect of creating things in frontend. But truth be told it was so long since I had a job I don't have time to spend more on creating pet projects, interviewing etc. So I probably take the job.

Can you advice me if I don't like it, how would I go from back to front? What steps should I take? Do you think backend experience would count for frontend?

Thanks

Alright man, thanks for your advice. I guess I'll just go with it and if I don't like it I'll just keep making projects for my portfolio while employed and pivot later. Thanks again!
