For past years I’ve been working as a JavaScript/typescript developer who make websites, I’ve worked as an internee and a full type employee during my education but now I’m unemployed, I see less job openings for MERN, NEXT js developers and at this point I’m unemployed for past 2 months, I’m starting to think that I’ve made a mistake and I should have invested my time leaning pythons, and becoming an AI engineer or data scientist, Is there a way out?
I don’t get the concept of “learning” a specific programming language, you can’t just sit down and learn the entire thing at once. You use it, google its weird quirks whenever you come across them and get better with it over time.
I’ve always been really language agnostic, which led to me being shifted into a Delphi team and then into a Typescript/React team. Didn’t know anything about those languages when I entered the team but someone who’s willing to just try their best can be a lot more desirable to a company than someone who thinks they can’t do something just because they didn’t spend time learning it “properly” first.
Also, might just be a regional thing, but the last time I went to one of those “I just finished university and want to network with companies” events, like 70% of the CS graduates were looking for Data Science positions. Seems like it’s quite the saturated market.
Exactly this! Don’t pigeonhole yourself into specific languages or frameworks. Most of your skills will translate. You’d be surprised at what you can pick up with a little time.
