My front end expert subscription runs out on May 25th, and I get to retry my quiz on May 8th after failing it a couple times. I have been using it for almost a year on and off during my two year web programming course. Thank you for creating it. Some of my teachers had really heavy accents, and people like me learn better from other instructors who are more in depth and clear with learning principles like you. I have practiced doing each question, like tictactoe and sudoku, on the spot with my parents too. and show them the stuff i create Thank you for making it. The quiz is tough, as you say but I reviewed it,and I'm ready to get my certificate and put it on my website and github profile. TY for making front end expert bro. You made me alot better at CSS too..

Hi Conner, thank you for your content!

[@shivaniagrawal8090]

Amazing consolidated video, thanks a lot

[@XavierGoncalves89]

Ah yes, "please implement a trie from scratch" because that will be very useful for a frontend dev.
Most interview questions deserve a chatgpt answer, as sometimes, the other person just wants you to know that they have read a book once and memorized it

[@ConnerArdman]

Lol I had basically his exact interview once, but with a hashmap. They literally handed me a piece of paper and watched me implement a hashmap without saying a word to me the whole time. Was weird vibes 😅

@@ConnerArdman Yikes, I wish I had the balls to ask "so is this what my project manager is going to ask of me every sprint?" or "is this what you are shipping to the users?"

Great video, thanks!

I graduated in late 2021 with a BS in software engineering, currently finishing my masters in AI and ML and have been a jr software emgineer at my first job for 2.5 years now (full stack). I feel underpayed (65k). Im nervous about exploring my options because im not very good tbh and the company I started with took me in knowing I was a beginner.

[@DesiqnedBy]

65k with a Master's is criminal tbh, if you're able to complete a masters focusing in AI and ML, you're definitely more capable than you're giving yourself credit for

[@hikmatullah2131]

Really active for your new video.

[@dreamdivine401]

Any recommendation for which courses to take for the Data Structure?

[@huseynfy]

Great video! Can you please make a video for front-end engineer interviews?

[@ConnerArdman]

Thanks! A lot of these suggestions are the same for frontend interviews, but I made a video on frontend specifically a while back. I don’t think much has changed in my opinions here except maybe that you could utilize ChatGPT as an additional tool now.

Thanks sir!@@ConnerArdman

[@AmanMinj_07]

I'm 24M don't have any job, living at my mom basement therefore, I really really want to get a job like any job. So, Is starting of with MERN would be good idea or I should look for other niche........ Any recommandation will be appriciated😅,

[@mueendotdev]

Is it necessary to know how to implement tree or any other data structure in code? or you know the data structures in theory and need to learn how they are used in particular problem?

[@ConnerArdman]

For trees and linked lists, you should know how to implement them because it’s like 5 lines lol. A lot of places start with an empty editor for tree questions and expect you to quickly add the class.
For graphs, you should also know because there are a lot of graph questions disguised as something else and most languages don’t have built in graphs.
Everything else, I think it is good information to know, but very unlikely you’ll need to use it. I did have to implement a hashmap in an interview once though 🤷‍♂️

[@mueendotdev]

Thanks @@ConnerArdman

[@ARTICFR0ST]

Does this also apply to front end engineers?

[@ConnerArdman]

For the most part yes - although with more focus on frontend interviews instead of just data structures and algorithms. You’ll want to be prepared for both.

[@esihazar1270]

If I have interview in 2 weeks what should I do sir ?

[@kelvinclark3474]

Just practice and put in your best

Bold strategy, keeps the interviewers on their toes 😂

Step 1: Solve 1¹⁰ leetcode problems from hackerrank
Step 2: Stalk the social media accounts of ceo of the company you will work
