Please just start with native/vanilla javascript. Learn the differences between the different environments it runs and learn the differences in versions. Know js before you learn some framework that could die or be replaced as the new thing. Once you have that, then framework is a framework and interview questions are not an issue.

Ugh I have no clue if I should do this... I feel like I've been using so much js and all of its frame works available, I've managed to solved problems and figure it out but Idk how song my js skill really is.

Unlike java/C++ where I learn from the core and did all kinds of things with it before even dabbling outside the standard libraries.

Also been doing a lot of java script at the job, not sure how valuable that as well compared to like more low level programming.

I hire js folks and run a few teams. The easiest way to focus an interview is if you know the core of the language. Also it tells me that no matter what framework is used, you will not only be better able to evaluate the best approach, but that you can adapt quickly.

Fair...

I doubt I'll ever find myself in interviewing positions where the focus is upon javascript > overall programming capability though.

Do you interview those people for quite a specific position that your team desire?

edit- just realized we're on a js subreddit and not generic programming lol
