I currently work as a C++ developer at an MNC. All the majority of job postings are filled with full stack.
So my question is, i have worked on front end a little. So if i self learn this skills, what are the chances that i do get a call for an interview? Have ppl been able to switch domains like this? I have 3yoe now. Or will have to lie a little on my resume to back my experience?

You have a great chance of developing the skill set if you study for about 6 months - a year depending on how good you are at learning. You already have backend experience so you are ahead.

Yes I completely agree.

Pick a language or skillset that is the latest trend in the market. For example if you want to learn UI, don't start with Angular now, go with React.

Ok. Will do. Thanks!

You may need to invest a little more time into studying/practicing. It's ok to list some of the skills you have *some* experience with, as long as you don't misrepresent yourself. I would definitely NOT lie. That could come back to bite you big time.

Hey folks,
I have been interviewed by 'FEI System', USA. But the offer letter which I have received is from a different company, 'Husys Consulting' Hyderabad.
When I asked them the reason behind this, they told me that FEI System has no physical presence in India, so 'Husys Consulting' hire on behalf of FEI System to meet legal compliance.
From the offer letter, it looks like it is third-party hiring. Should I accept this offer?
Any help would be appreciated.
