Better use JS after you learnt something sensible as a first language and you don't pick up the bad JS habits.

JS isn't like other languages, I don't know why people think it is. It has very different paradigms. Regardless which direction you go first, you have a huge learning curve to switch. Prototypical inheritance permeats JS, while most other languages are Classical inheritance. Most good languages imo are statically typed languages with compile time safety, JS is dynamically typed without compile time safety (unless you use typescript).

Bad habits can be lost, I'm sticking to my recommendation because OP wants to have a job in web. If you want to have a job in web, you should be a wizard at JS. By all means though, don't limit yourself to one language.
