We'll let you get settled, set up wi-fi, read over the requirements and ask questions. Then you should get between 1 hour and 1.5 hours to complete the challenge (depending on arriving late, peoples' schedules, and other factors).
If you get less time then we'll take that into account as fairly as possible when evaluating your solution.
It's ok if you don't implement all of the requirements. But try to make sure you have something to demo.
You may use either React or Vue.
It's entirely up to you what other libraries, CSS frameworks, etc you'd like to use during the challenge.
You may have been given an exception to use a different framework given your background, but please note that the majority of web development at Paytm Labs uses React or Vue.
No, there isn't.
No. You only need to write front end code (not full stack). You will need to make calls to pre-existing REST API(s).
Absolutely. Using your own laptop is preferred.
We can also provide a laptop with basic dev tools pre-installed (VS Code, Sublime Text, node/npm).
If you bring your own laptop there are no restrictions on what you can use on it. If you're using your own laptop and you have a favourite project starter (e.g. create-react-app) then you may set up an empty project beforehand to save time during the challenge.
If you tend to work a lot better with an external monitor/keyboard/mouse, then let us know beforehand and we'll try our best to accomodate this (assuming spare equipment is available, which it usually is).
Yes, you will be connected to our guest wi-fi. And feel free to use any Google and any online resources during the challenge. You can use anything you can get from the internet such as npm modules, stack overflow code, etc.
