Application story
I got a link to apply for the job from an HR of Upgrad on Linkedin. Then I filled out a form and after a few days, I got a link for a meet from Knowledge-hunt upgrad. It was a tech round where they focused on JavaScript Core concepts and React. After this tech interview, I had an HR round where I was asked basic questions and I was briefed about my work and responsibilities. After some days I was given my offer letter.
Preparation
Duration: 3 months

Tip
Tip

Tip 1: When you start with JavaScript be thorough and consistent as advanced topics might be confusing.
Tip 2: In a web dev interview you can expect some questions on DSA and the interviewer can ask you to code them in JavaScript. So you need to practice some DSA concepts as well.
Tip 3: Make some projects in Web Development which include CRUD operations.

Coding problem3

1. API Question

Create a function fetchWeatherData(city) that fetches weather data for a given city using an API that returns a Promise. The function should:

1. Accept a city as a string parameter.
2. Make an API call to retrieve weather data for that city.
3. If the API call is successful, resolve the promise with the weather data (e.g., temperature, humidity, description).
4. If the API call fails, reject the promise with an error message.

2. Promises

Refactor an existing code that fetches data from these APIs using nested callbacks to use Promises instead, thus avoiding "Callback Hell."

3. JavaScript

You are developing a file processing utility in JavaScript. Your task is to implement a function that reads a file asynchronously and performs an operation on its contents using callbacks.
