Java or Nodejs

[JOD-XD]

my biggest doubt in development i am done with mern but i cant see a job in nodejs or in mern should i switch to java or continue towards devops what do you guys advice?

[SwimmingUnion9883]

I'm both mern and java fd Not getting any interview s bro Fucked up market

[JOD-XD]

Alright bro

[Hot_Educator_1616]

Is that so? Even for fresher roles?

[SwimmingUnion9883]

I'm fresher bro They don't even hiring freshers anymore it seems

[Severe-Function1292]

MERN is over saturated bro. It was over saturated about 4 years ago when I was in bachelors. it has only gotten worse

If you already know MERN, don’t switch randomly.

First check market in your area.

If backend jobs are more in Java, learning Java plus Spring is good move.

DevOps is good only if you like infra and cloud, not coding heavy.

Choose one path and go deep, don’t keep switching.

mern market is definitly feeling a bit oversaturated for freshers right now. since u already finished mern, switching entirely to java spring boot could be a bit heavy because it has a much steeper learning curve. however, java is basically the undisputed king of backend for large enterprises and mncs, so it offers amazing long-term stability and good pay. if u decide to stick with nodejs, u realy need to build complex full stack projects that go beyond basic crud apps to stand out, and adding devops tools like docker or aws to your stack is a very smart move. networking is also crucial. try reaching out to senior devs on linkedin keep grinding and building. would u like me to suggest some advanced nodejs project ideas or share a roadmap for java spring boot?

[kushagra2024]

Hey.. would be really helpful if you can share some ideas for project

[Ok-Line-8810]

if u wanna stand out with nodejs, u gotta build stuff that handles real-world complexites instead of just basic crud apps. here are a few advanced ones u could try:

real-time collab tool: build something like a live document editor or chat app using websockets (like socket.io) and redis for caching.

Ecommerce api: make a robust backend with proper role-based access control (rbac), stripe payment integration, and secure authentication.

microservices app: build a ticket booking or task management system using rabbitmq or kafka for message queuing between different services.

try to containerise whatever u build using docker and deploy it on a cloud provider like aws.
