    Nobody asked me such questions during my junior processes. Last time I had to develop a project ( take home assignment) and after investing quite a lot of time I did not even get feedback on my project, they just said other projects were better. So no place for improvement there. I have the feeling companies at these early stages just feel they can take time from you but give nothing in exchange during selection processes and I think this needs to change and interviews should be more like this one, a nice conversation with useful feedback.

    I had no idea that interviews could be this way. This completely boosted my confidence to try with my current skill level. Thanks Alex and scrimba.

    As a non English native speakers, I was impressed by her confidence during the process. This is a ideal interview. As a person who preparing for interviews as a frontend engineers, I have a fear of rejection from interviews. What if I do something wrong or not find a best solution of a question I get. I couldn't get rid of this kind of thought but this video gave me a motivation. Basically, we should help each other. It was a good opportunity to learn technical skills for the intervieww and it was also a good opportunity to learn how to give advice to colleagues and lead for the interviewer. Thank you for the great video. I learned a lot from the video. :)

  • It's observations: Key is missing. Provide key to card when returning inside map. Card - Flexbox. Img alt for accessibility ☺️
  • Definitely some motivation watching this video and so happy to find out about Scrimba as well. Silvia did a great job!
  • @vinmixtojin
    I faced mostly interviews about DSA and more engineering oriented.I never expected an interview could be this easy.
  • @xiongmoua3560
    Glad to see relevant coding questions for the job in question.
  • As a frontend developer I have never gotten an interview this easy
  • @cholo2605
    Beautiful content, thanks Scrimba!!!
  • @cubespeed100
    Ahh!! That was so great to watch. I want to have a technical interview like this. I really appreciated seeing this and knowing that talking through the process and also talking with the interviewer can really serve you well in this situation. I always imagined this portion to be in complete silence except maybe for the steady drip of my sweat on the keyboard 😂 Great job Silvia, and congratulations!
  • @mcfliermeyer
    such a pleasure to watch and very informative. thanks to sylvia and mike and alex!
  • I am taking a React course, so this video shows me a lot. Thank you!
  • @sobiah11
    This was really insightful, I've been using React frameworks for so long I got slightly thrown off by the use of pure JS...but honestly so much more confident in my skills now
  • @blue-jk2qu
    Thank you, guys, for this video :) Silvia you did an amazing job here!
  • @sugaslate14
    I haven’t used react yet, but. I feel confident I can do this with some novice previous experience w html,css,Js, and python. Thanks for this confidence boost!
