How interviewers test React
Real questions from Skilture's interview banks, with what the interviewer is listening for.
Frontend Developer · basic
Explain the difference between state and props in React.
Listen for: Strong answers explain props are read-only inputs from a parent while state is internal and mutable via setState/hooks. Mutating props or confusing the two is a red flag.
Frontend Developer · advanced
What does the dependency array of useEffect control, and what bugs come from getting it wrong?
Listen for: Look for understanding that it decides when the effect re-runs, and that missing dependencies cause stale closures while wrong ones cause infinite loops. Not being able to explain stale state is a red flag.
Full Stack Developer · intermediate
How do you manage state that needs to stay in sync between React components?
Listen for: Look for lifting state up, context for cross-cutting state, and reaching for a store only when justified. Prop-drilling everything or global state for everything are both red flags.
