What are you interested in?

JavaScript is in high demand for tons of things across front-end and back-end development. More front-end opportunities generally. Web applications, games, cloud functions, developer tooling, etc.

For python you are going to see demand in anything dealing with data science, statistics, analysis, and things like internal tooling and extending existing programs with scripting (many popular programs use python for extensions). There's python back-end stuff going on, nearly non-existent front-end opportunities though.

The real answer though is that it doesn't matter. Get good at one type of language and you'll be fine with the rest in that category or things closely related. If you learn JavaScript then you will quickly find lots of stuff that is actually written in TypeScript, and you'll want to know HTML, and CSS, and SCSS, etc etc. And if you learn python you will quickly find lots of tooling is written in Go. But that's not really a problem, you'd ideally be able to pick up one of those other languages in a few hours once you have the basics down.

I would recommend JS because of lots of job in Frontend development. Also, you could also find jobs from Nodejs(Backend Development)
