It is not possible to consume so much in 24hrs , just let it go and prepare well for the next one. Personally join Upworks and start small till you gain good experience or do a big personal project.

also watch youtube there's always someone explaining a concept better

DrLevi:
Its not really that hard a task.

But you can't learn databases, REST API, request/response cycle and all that in 48 hours.

You can learn on the job but not without a solid grasp of the basics. In my opinion, you're getting ahead of yourself with this and should calm down and do more projects.

Op let this slide. There's always gonna be more opportunities and continue upskilling. At this point since you are getting interviews already I won't advise you to learn backend or do more projects. Start building up your algorithm skills. Those jobs are going to start coming in anytime soon. I really like the fact that you are very intentional about getting a job and have been applying to jobs. This is what I tell people. See the company is from Lebanon. I tell people with regards to tech enter LinkedIn and apply to jobs worldwide. It doesn't matter the country the skill is the same.

Well since you have spent time what I will do is send in just the front-end and let the company know that I am just a front end developer.

I've been learning frontend web development for a while now and after getting to a stage I react I decided to test the waters as regards to available jobs. I've been spamming LinkedIn and Indeed with applications though I apply for mostly Internship or Entry level positions.

Its been over two weeks I've been sending applications and only one Lebanese company has contacted me for an assessment and I've applied for over 200 jobs within that period.

The issue now is that the Lebanese company gave me a mini full stack project to complete within 48 hours though the time can be extended on request. Now I'm just a rookie frontend developer with no experience at all with back end, the frontend of the project has to be done with react which I can handle but I'm stuck at the back end.

I downloaded tones of tutorials on node js pertaining the project but I can't just wrap my head around it within such limited time frame. I have a little below 24 hours before the deadline and I've made little or no head way.

Even if I manage to get the project done won't I be biting more than I can chew knowing it's a full stack position? Or should I find a way around the project and learn on the job?. I wouldn't want my desperation for a job to put me into trouble.
Should I let this one slide and wait for opportunities that suit my current skill set while I further develop my skills? I haven't slept for the past 24 hours due to this project and I'm stressed out already.

Please my bosses I need your input on this matter.

Modified: I've been able to create a react app that displays the CSV file table on the frontend but I'm just overwhelmed with the back end

Please don't be desperate for a job. Spamming for job openings with over 200 applications is not a good proceeding. Stop applying and start enjoying building dummy projects and adding it to your portfolio while positioning yourself.

Always remember that a good Engineer doesn't look for a company to work for. In contrast, companies are always looking for a good Engineer to work with.

To give you a clue, always attend to interviews like you don't really need the job. It works better that way.

Honestly this advice only works when you are at a senior developer. Op please don't take this advice. I also spammed jobs before I got my first job. People I advised to spam jobs have gotten good jobs very good. One I know in fact works for two companies. One in the UK and the other in Australia. He earns over 3 million a month and he hasn't been coding professionally for up to a year. Even I don't earn up to one million though my earnings are in the high six digits range.

Spam and apply please you are a junior Dev. If you build 100 things from videos and copying and pasting stack overflow solutions it will absolutely never be up to standard. Get into the industry and learn how things work at an industry standard.

What I will advise you op as you are getting interviews is to work on your algorithms. Don't waste your time building any new thing. The ones you have done are okay.

Supreme145:

Thanks boss, I did DSA during the university but never really know its application practically, I will put the knowledge into use now.

tensazangetsu20:

Trust me start now that you are job hunting. Infact all your time should be spent on DSA and spamming openings on LinkedIn and indeed. Data structures and algorithms is the difference between someone getting a job of 200 to 500k and another getting a job of 3 to 5 million a month. It's the absolute difference.

God bless you for helping Op and other people reading this. What of oop is it better than dsa?
