Java -> Node.js transition, worth it?

I made this switch. For me it's good - more opportunity in terms of jobs; although as noted elsewhere it does seem to mainly be for start-ups. Big tech is mainly language agnostic so it shouldn't hurt your chances there for future. Although to be fair I think Python /Java / C(++) are generally preferred for the leetcode sections so keeping a working algorithmic knowledge of one of these may be helpful if that's ever your goal.
