I do have some practical advice, thanks for asking.

  • Read or skim through the explanation of basic concepts we normally use without thinking about it, for example: Hoisting, closure, promises, callback functions, currying, etc.
  • Look again for examples of OOP and FP in JS.
  • Make sure you understand and are able to explain the prototype inheritance in JS and why classes are not classes in ES.
  • Remember interesting problems you have solved before.
  • Keep in mind what you value in a job so it is a win-win situation.

Here are a few ques that I look for when considering a new job:

  • Is it a good team? Do they solve interesting problems?
  • Is remote work an option?
  • What about a flexible schedule?
  • Does the pay matches the level of seniority they expect?
  • Are there any signs of the employer not providing a the tools for the job? This is a topic for a blog post, but a few signs might be no Front end developer using a Mac, not testing devices, restricted internet access, etc.
