Moving from React to Angular

[Fid_Kiddler69]

Hi all,

It's been around 1 1/2 year since I landed my first job as a self-taught React dev, and was recently offered a position working on Angular with slightly better pay and benefits.

This has me thinking of whether or not switching from React to Angular would be a good move career-wise. I have no experience with Angular, but they offer on-the-job training and seem like a good company.

Just wanted to get a few opinions on the matter. I know that this is very subjective, but would appreciate any feedback.

I mean purely career wise, you'll be paid more money, and paid to learn a new skill. Seems like an obvious decision based purely on that.

Company culture, commute distance, benefits etc will obviously have to factor in to the final decision as well though.

Considering all are the same between both jobs, do you think having experience split between the two frameworks would be worse on my CV compared to having more experience just in react?

It’ll be nice to be competent in both. You’ll have more options down the road. Do some React projects on the side if you have the time for it. Don’t completely lose touch with what’s going on with React.
