I haven't got the ideas why many frontend jobs require experience in React whether it's for a new or existing projects, maybe I need enlightenment.

- mym1990 4y agoProbably because a large portion of their app is built in React?
- pas 4y agoBecause HR (and IT strategy) nowadays is a farce, managers, decision-makers and the actual organizational units that do hiring rarely have the necessary systemic big-picture knowledge/information, foresight, experience, longitudinal thinking that would allow them to venture out of their preset suboptimal ways.
- dntrkv 4y agoAre you suggesting that requiring React experience for a job where you will use React is not a reasonable ask?
- pas 4y agoIt's usually perfectly reasonable, but not really optimal. In this job market requiring React seems worse than hiring someone that is a good frontend developer and has the wits and eagerness to pick up React and whatever tools the team uses, and the job requires. This has the advantage that when - inevitably - tool1 gets deprecated and tool2 arrives you'll have someone that can adapt and learn, and likely you'll also have someone who can teach.
- robswc 4y agoTalking with recruiters again and can agree. The worst experience so far was for a general full stack role. They sent me a 3 page long PDF of job "requirements" which was a lot of fluff and implicit stuff. I get it... but I think that can be reserved for later. Not the best offer, seemed like they were disorganized in general, etc. The best experience was for the best TC offer _and_ most relevant position for me... they sent over half a page that didn't waste a single character. Named a few frameworks but they had a crystal clear idea of what they needed. It was amazing, lol.
