Oh man, don't say it. I've just started to learn React to improve my chances of landing into my first job, since all Java positions are either full-time or requires >4 years of previous relevant experience.



I wouldn’t worry about that. React won the framework war in most industries. The only places who really utilise Angular in my area are the same companies who build the JAVA backends you can’t get hired for, and even some of them are switching to react.

All in all you shouldn’t worry too much about employability if you pick and stick with something popular. Check your local job-market and stop worrying about what’s hipster cool on HN. There hasn’t been a single Rust or Go job listing in my entire region of Denmark for an entire year, mean while there are currently around 150 PHP positions open right now.


For better or worse, react is and will remain very employable.
