Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take me to become job-ready with this plan?
About 90 days if you follow the phases and ship each project. Expect 2–3 hours per day on weekdays, plus a focused weekend session for reviews and fixes.
Should I learn React, Vue, or Svelte first?
Pick one and go deep. React has the widest hiring demand in 2025, but depth matters more than the choice. Master routing, forms, state, and data fetching.
Do I need backend skills to land a first role?
You can land frontend roles, but basic Node.js plus a database makes you far more competitive. Build one full-stack project with auth, CRUD, and deployment.
How many portfolio projects do I need, and what quality is expected?
Three complete projects with live demos, a clear README, screenshots, and a short case study. Prioritize polish: accessibility, error states, tests, and performance.
What’s the fastest way to prep for interviews?
Practice small JS exercises daily, rehearse two system walkthroughs from your projects, and prepare three STAR stories. Do at least three mock interviews and iterate.
