Hi All ,

I am a Senior Front end developer with around 10+ years experience on Front end technologies . I have been with same company with for more than 6+ years. On top of that my current role is lead position where I need to handle multiple teams with minimum coding.This is making me nervous since with current mkt if there is layoff I don't want to be caught off guard with no hands on experience or preparation.

The interview scenario has also changed in last few years . I need your expert advice on switching job

  1. How much time should I give for LC for interviews (are interviews shifting away for LC style to more takeaway home problems or AI)
  2. Reading this forum it seems there is another layer of AI interview round. Can anyone please explain what exactly is this round ? Does this round give you a system to design and check your proficiency is prompt engineering, checking how deep and specific prompt would give you solution with minimum time and all edge case scenarios ?
  3. Specifically for front end senior position (architect) what specific preparation is needed other than above points.

The interview for the current job was bit different when I gave 6 years ago . It was not leet code style but practical type of front end interview where I was asked to code Dashboard using React and Javascript. The next design interview was aligned to front end design patterns as well as CSS patterns and front end stack. Hence I had never prepared for LC style interviews.

Now since I am checking after more than 6 years I am really nervous . I can write front end code but get nervous with LC style questions

P.N - I don't have job urgency since current role and job seems safe at least for 6 months(hence have some time to prepare), but I want to prepare for unknown times ahead and current market trends.

All inputs are welcome . TIA !
