Hi, I am hardly earning decent amount as someone with 6 years experience.
I am preparing for job switch but things have changed so much.
I started as a frontend developer then changed into a full stack dev.
My tech stack has always been React\Next with NodeJS.
Im thinking to apply to jobs as a frontend developer.
I dont think I have enough knowledge as a backend dev specifically because Ive only ever worked with Node.
I work at a well known company so I only want to target known companies and MNCs. I cant do startups.
What would you suggest. Do companies like FAANG, adobe, salesforce, cred, Atlassian hire just UI devs. Ill be going in for a senior position.
Is frontend still relevant?
Is there anyone here who is in a UI role with good pay please please reach out. I need serious advice

Can you guys pleaseee suggest some good recursion resources.
I am struggling so much with it. Its like once I reached recursion in my dsa journey, it makes me want to give up. It makes me feel dumb. Even after reading solutions Im not able to understand how it works. Im never able to derive a solution myself.
Please any advice will do.

Hi everyone,
I’m completely new to investing and would really appreciate your advice.
Risk Appetite
Aggressive. I’m 28 years old, have a stable job, and I’m comfortable with market fluctuations as long as it helps with long-term wealth creation.
Investment Goal
Long-term wealth creation. I don’t have any short-term financial goals for this money.
Investment Horizon
15-20+ years.
Current Monthly SIPs
HDFC Flexi Cap Direct Growth - ₹10,000/month
ICICI Prudential Large & Mid Cap Direct Growth - ₹10,000/month
Total SIP: ₹20,000/month.
Additional Investments
My mom is an LIC agent and she had asked me to put ₹10,000/month in LIC Index Plus (ULIP). I did it, partly because she is my mom, but I’m not sure if it was the right decision from an investment perspective.
App
Groww.
Why I selected these funds
Honestly, I didn’t research them myself. These funds were recommended by friends, and since I knew almost nothing about mutual funds, I started investing in them. I’m now trying to understand investing properly instead of blindly following recommendations.
Questions
Is my current portfolio good, or should I change anything?
If I can invest around ₹50,000/month, how would you allocate it?
Should I add a Nifty 50 Index Fund or simply increase my existing SIPs?
If I have an additional ₹50,000-₹1,00,000 as a lump sum, should I invest it all at once or stagger it over a few months?
I’m still learning, so I’d appreciate explanations along with recommendations. Thank you!

I have my appointment in a week.
My first question is that is a balance of 2.5 lakh enough. And my resting acc balance is 80k to 1lakh because I give EMIs.
Next what do you guys put in cover letter to ensure visa doesnt get rejected. Should I mention that I pay EMIs. Ill also my FD balance as I have some amount there as well

Are we still relevant? Are people still applying for frontend roles?
Ive been off the job market and in a stable big 4 job for more than 4 years now.
Its time to step out of my comfort zone.
But whats waiting for me out there? What are frontend devs studying?
How is the interview process diff between frontend and backend devs?
How is AI impacting our role?

Realistically speaking, how long did it take you to prep if you are starting from scratch.
I have 6 years experience but for interviews I have to learn dsa again, then system design.
I am a frontend developer so machine coding round will also be there.
Acc to my estimate it will take me around 1-1.5 years to be ready to give interviews.
Is that normal?
Im able to give 1 hour on weekdays and 2-3 on weekends right now.

I talked to some FAANG/MAANG folks and they told me to start with the infamous A2Z sheet.
Now Im working on it everyday and I cant say Im able to solve every next problem on the same topic, which means the questions are actually layered carefully.
I just want to know how long does it take realistically to complete the entire sheet and is it enough.
Of course as someone who is restarting dsa after 6 years of experience, I think I need to solve these many problems to get a hang of it.
But is this sheet actually as perfect as it looks?
My plan is to complete this at my pace then move to UI system design and maybe do grind 75 or neetcode 150 on the side to keep practicing dsa.
What do you guys think?

All the “How to crack SDE positive at FAANG/MAANG” posts are always focused on a backend position. I know DSA might be same for frontend as well, but I have to know if System Design differs for frontend devs or not.
I have always been at UI focused roles till now. I have 5+ years of experience. Yes I have worked on backend and know a lot of stuff but not enough to crack interviews. Do top tech companies follow a different pattern for frontend roles or not?
Are frontend roles even relevant after AI bloom?
I do all my leetcode in javascript.
Whats the best course of action for me here?
