Hey! It’s great that you want to become a FE dev! Don’t be stressed out by a lot of things, you will learn them over time. Start small. Make it work. Improve.

  1. I don’t think that code cloning is something, which will allow you to grow a lot. First, because it can be boring and will quickly demotivate you to go on. Secondly, because not everything you copy is a code worth to learn from. Start with smaller projects and learn to read others code, by doing reviews or analyzing libraries you might be using.
  2. Although math and algorithms might be a valuable investment for the future interviews, many companies would not emphasize the importance of them especially for the FE devs. In my opinion it’s more important to know FE frameworks or being able to bring design to live.
  3. I dunno what happens in your region, but when I check LinkedIn I rarely see positions that require vanilla. I would suggest again to check out the Frameworks. Current situation on the local market might give you a clue which one to pick.
  4. I have not had a mentor when I started, but now, after some years I see a value of them. A mentor can boost you a lot, but not having one, is not a big issue either.

That's true, I think I was overly influenced by my first experience, your suggestion got me inspired, especially about vanilla JS, I was thinking that is the fundamentals that I have to know everything like an alphabet! I guess it really depends on the person, Thank you so much for your comment! :D
