I'm curious, do you know of any frontend-focused programs? A lot of the advanced programs I've seen are entirely Leetcode focused. And yet, there are really tough frontend interviews out there that aren't focused on solving leetcode. Or if they are, there is a second round that's

Good question: 1. Formation has a frontend track. I need to emphasize that it's not educational and people with no frontend experience find it not good for them. It's the equivalent of how if you can do LC Easy problems then these DS&A programs are good, but not if you haven't done any at all. Our frontend is good for people who know frontend and want practice, not for people with no frontend experience. It's JS/HTML/CS/React 2. Interview Kickstart has a similar view as Formation, where you can do a short amount of practice on frontend but the focus is still classic DS&A. Interview Kickstart also has a lot more modules you can do like Data Science and ML 3. Outco: I don't think they have frontend 4. Pathrise: no frontend 5. Coachable: no frontend 6. Scaler: has frontend and projects in their longer program I can't speak to IK, but Formation basically covers 14ish interview types, so we have mock interviews with senior/staff frontend engineers to prepare for tough frontend interviews. The problem with frontend is that there are thousands of combinations of frameworks and tools and you can't learn them all, so it's a little harder to benchmark and prepare for. DS&A interviews are intentionally designed to be language and platform agnostic (that's why they are the way they are!) and are much easier to prepare for. Frontend system design is a variant we do too if you have one upcoming! Most frontend interviews though aren't so much "frontend interviews" but are more like "live coding" (mini features, debugging, mini projects) and those you can prepare for by practicing in the right dev environment that you'll have for the interview and doing mock interviews.
