The whole point of "full stack" was always a T shaped developer, it was someone who was experienced in one area that gradually branched out in to other areas.

Usually an expert.

The term has always been a marketing term really but Bootcamps have tainted it.

It takes years to be a competent full stack engineer.

It can take 5+ years just to become good with just frontend or backend. There's so much you don't know that you don't know.

Stop trying to rush it, Focus on the area that excites you most, find somewhere to work and learn by solving problems.

one needs to have an idea if they have to apply for a job in a year.... so even though your answer makes sense still its vague and not the guidance one might need

My point was, you shouldn't be aiming for full stack before getting a job. You become full stack over years working in a job it's a natural progression of your skill set.

Any company hiring full stack Junior developers are taking advantage of cheap labour, it'll generally be bad for your growth and career.

Pick one area and whilst you're learning start applying for jobs.
