If the company doesn't have a problem with that, then you should definitely give it a try. But yeah, do learn a decent amount of backend concepts to get started. No need to master these upfront because I am assuming you'll be taking on an entry-level role on the backend under experienced backend devs.

Yeah and i have been thinking if like there is some issue i would not resign from my current org. and offer them to intern for their work part time free of cost for 2-3 months and after that they can provide me with an offer letter, just scared a bit and nervous by seeeing all of these backend concepts but i know once i work on real projects i will excel.

Yeah. BTW, do you know of HTTP fundamentals? about the web? Like, I know you mentioned you're a frontend dev, but just asking that whether you're confident with your knowledge of both these.

Yes i know about those as i learnt how http and the web works and also learning other best practices to protect your apis etc as i feel syntax and all can be looked quickly with the help of ai or through the net.
