"What are some common stages and expectations in the frontend interview process for major tech companies, and how would you prepare for it?"

At most major tech companies (FAANG+), the interview process won't be that different between a front-end engineer and a full-stack engineer role. These should all be common regardless of the role:

• Technical phone screen
• At least 1 or 2 data structure and algorithm (DSA) questions
• At least 1 system design interview if you're interviewing for a Senior+ role
• One behavioral/project-based interview.

The differences will be in the last 2 categories:

• The system you design will be about your frontend domain expertise. e.g. for Facebook, they asked me how I'd implement the Newsfeed with various view types.
• The project-based interview will be about implementing some user interface, discussing best practices, and exploring various technologies or frameworks.

The advice from the interview masterclasses will apply! (system design or DSA)
