I knew a bit about React but you're right, the driving force behind really learning it was for a job.
"How long have you been working with JavaScript? "
10 years
Your experience with React? None.
I am sorry, we can't offer you this position.
If that’s happened, it’s probably for the best. If they can’t see you’re an experienced JS developer who could pick up React in a week, they probably won’t be great to work with.
Yes the situation applies to when the interviewer is a recruiter with no tech experience whatsoever (it happens a lot)
My favourite is when I get LinkedIn messages about jobs requiring 10 years of Java experience because “you’re an expert at JavaScirpt”...
Lol! I bet they'd still looking up till now.
