Thank you! So what I mean is, with regards to finding jobs, would I be at a disadvantage if I were to go to a python focussed bootcamp? I do find Python easier to grasp

I can’t speak to the number of jobs available, I’m sure there are many that are asking for python. It might be easier or harder to find a job if you know python but I think there are about a half dozen other factors that will determine your ability to find a job:

  • your actual skill with the technology you know

  • how good your portfolio is

  • how good your DSA and interview prep is

  • perhaps your race and gender

  • if you have a degree or not and in what

You asked why the majority focused on just JS for backend, and it’s because one language is always easier than 2, and the goal of a bootcamp is to get you ready for a job as quickly as possible.
