What are you using these days, and how are you finding non-react work? I’m a front end dev with plenty experience and no fondness for react - but “3-5 years react experience” is a hard requirement for almost every senior dev position I see coming down the pipe. :/
- whalesalad 2y agoALL of these frameworks are 110% interchangeable. If I was a 100% vue shop (which we are), I would not hesitate to hire a React expert. Or vice versa. After a few weeks or months that knowledge will translate and before long that React expert will also be a Vue expert, or at least well on their way. I would prefer a Javascript, DOM, Browser, HTTP, HTML and CSS expert to any framework specialist. These frameworks are ultimately a means to an end. The fundamentals matter the most. If you are intimate with fundamentals, everything else is just a walk in the park to map the fundamental knowledge to the frameworks approach or implementation. I am not building Vue apps. I am not building React apps. I am building apps, and those frameworks happen to be one building block. So if you know how to build killer shit for the web, I would not consider your lack of React knowledge to matter at all. You can pick that up quick.
- mock-possum 2y agoI mean I’m with you, I can only assume the people reading my resume don’t see it that way. I assume when they’re choosing between “5 years of angular but react isn’t hard” and “5 years of react,” they going with the latter. People keep telling me I just need to lie on my resume but I really don’t want to do that.
