Hello Everyone, I recently had the opportunity to interview for the role of SDE1 - Frontend at Fynd (Shopsense Retail Technologies Ltd.). I wanted to share my interview experience with you all. I came across an opening on Fynd's careers page and applied through a referral. Shortly after, I received a call from HR to begin the interview process, which consisted of four rounds. Interview Process 1. Technical Round (JavaScript + LLD) Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes - JavaScript output-based questions - JavaScript conceptual questions, such as closures and debouncing - Coding questions: Polyfill for Promise.all and object flattening - Low-level design for a vlogging website 2. Technical Round (HTML, CSS, JS) Duration: 40 minutes - The interviewer provided a Figma design (JIRA design) and asked me to code it in HTML and CSS, with an additional JavaScript functionality. 3. HR Round (Behavioral + Salary Discussion) Duration: 1 hour - Standard behavioral questions 4. Technical Round (Core JavaScript) Duration: 40 minutes - Conducted by the Director of Engineering, focusing on previous projects - Verbal explanation of polyfills for setTimeout and setInterval - Discussion of the most challenging task I’ve undertaken - Questions about my knowledge of Fynd Despite my last interview going very well, I was ultimately not selected. When I asked HR for feedback on my rejection, I did not receive a specific reason. I believe it might have been due to my request for a 70-80% salary hike 😅. I’m sharing this post to provide insight into my interview experience and to help others who might be preparing for similar roles. #interview_experience #frontend #SDE #frontend_interview

Below is a list of companies that offer a base salary of 10L+ to SDE 1 and most of them offer 20L+ base salary to SDE 2, as per Glassdoor, LeetCode, and AmbitionBox. I can definitely vouch for the companies : #PayPal and #Tesco here, but do your due diligence for other companies when it comes to work-life balance, work culture etc. P.S: List has backlink to company page, which is clickable only when the pdf is downloaded. #jobs #hiring #softwarengineer #sde #engineer #salary #ctc #linkedin #career #openings

🌟 Journey Through the Big Oh Tech SDE Hiring Process 🌟 Excited to share my recent experience interviewing for the Software Development Engineer (SDE) role at Big Oh Tech! This journey has been both challenging and enriching, providing me with a deeper understanding of my skills and areas for growth. Here's a quick breakdown of the process: 1️⃣ Round 1: Coding Challenges The first coding round involved solving two intense problems.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝗗𝗘 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 Full Interview Experience Link - https://lnkd.in/dFmXiEH4 I recently had the opportunity to interview for an SDE Android position at Blinkit. While I learned a lot from the experience, I didn't make it through. Here's a reflection on the key reasons for my rejection: 𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵: I realized that my understanding of certain topics wasn't deep enough. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗨𝗽 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Even when I was giving correct answers, I lacked confidence during follow-up questions. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Some topics I hadn't implemented in depth practically, which was expected for a role requiring 2 years of experience. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘃𝘀. 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲: While theoretical knowledge is important, it's crucial to have hands-on experience and test various scenarios yourself. 𝗟𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: It's essential to have a clear logical reason for every decision made in your projects. You need to know why you implemented something, what the alternative options were, and why you chose a particular feature. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Prepare thoroughly from your resume. Every question can start from the points mentioned in your resume, so be ready to discuss each one in detail. Learning from this experience, I am committed to deepening my knowledge, gaining more practical experience, and ensuring I am thoroughly prepared for future opportunities. Keep trying and never give up! 💪 #InterviewExperience #AndroidDevelopment #CareerGrowth #LearningFromFailure
