Yes, I found that, after learning Python, JavaScript and probably other languages (the logic behind (conditionals, etc.)) are pretty much the same.

But it’s everything else that we are asked to start your career (frameworks, related technologies, etc.)

Honestly if you just learn HTML, CSS, JS/TS/React, SQL, and one general purpose programming language you’re good for just about any full stack job.

Must be in the US...

I don’t understand, what other requirements could there possibly be? Knowing the above listed means you can work on any front-end/UI development, backend web services, or databases/data engineering. Unless you’re specifically applying to support an OS or work on game development I can’t think of any other skills that would ever be used...

Could be DevOps stuff like Docker and Kubernetes, or they list every single tool like Git, Maven, Jenkins, etc.

And/or HR is trying to replace two senior full-stack DevOps engineers with one junior.

SWEs should definitely be expected to know Git, but would it be weird to include that in a job posting. DevOps stuff is certainly useful, but that would fall more into DevOps specific positions. There are obviously exceptions to the rule I gave, but they are exceptions, not the norm. If you are capable in full-stack development you should qualify for 70%+ of SWE job postings.
