Do you feel knowing HTML, CSS and JavaScript is enough to get a job as a Junior front end dev and then learn frameworks as you go? Looking for a quick switch out of my current job and don’t want to wait longer to learn React and SASS.

Just learn react & git after learning js/html/css. Try and build a simple spa using react. You can get a job with js alone but react will make you candidacy that much stronger.


Or just learn go and get a job in backend. The demand is insane.

Op, you can always work towards being an swe. For example amazon and google both have good pipelines to go from tech-adjacent to swe.

HTML/JS/CSS CAN get you a job at a very low tier company or freelance. Not in an actual tech company unless you ace the interviews. SASS for the most part you can learn in a day or 2 it’s literally the same thing as CSS

Yes, since there are companies out there that hire based on potential, not necessarily a laundry list of tech. H/C/J are the basics for front end. You should also know at least some theory about algorithms and how to recognize when your code could be more efficient.

Thank you for giving hope haha! Will make sure to build a few small projects and one big one outside of what the boot camp offers to help with my portfolio.

As someone who just finished a bootcamp and had to find a job with those skills MERN & JS, listen to Google and learn Go or another very in demand backend lang like that and you won’t be fighting with 5,000 bootcamp grads /self taught devs for the same Junior dev jobs

I guess I’m the few who finds pixel perfection to be very tedious and boring. Backend was my focus and definitely my preference 😂

Def apply for any jobs that look interesting to you. Don't worry about the exact skills they list. Be honest about what you know and be able to learn new languages on the job.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago.

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
