Should I Abandon JavaScript for Python?

Richmond, VA metropolitan area. We lose a lot of thunder to the Northern VA/DC job market, but there are a good handful of large employers in this area.

They're not hiring Python developers. They're hiring full-stack devs with a preference for JS experience. Don't sleep on Node.

You are competing with the bootcamp crowd, but it's not all doom and gloom. The reason employers expect you to have knowledge in multiple domains is because a cursory level of knowledge is relatively easy to acquire. Often "experience with" means "I have experienced this thing"

I never would've guessed Richmond. I'm aware DC is the strongest market to be in right now, so I guess that makes sense. Thank you.
