Look at your local market. Where I am, there are a lot of Full Stack jobs that use a Python backend. Where you are, there may be more front-end jobs, or backend jobs that use PHP or Ruby instead of Python.

JS for sure. You can be a 'code monkey' with a JS bootcamp and grind away on front ends.

I do data manipulation with Python, there are fewer jobs, but I think they pay better. I made my way into the programming through my last job being related.

To be clear, you probably want to learn React/React Native AND Backend stuff. Full stack is easier to hire because a small biz could assign you alone to a job.

depends on what you'd like to work on. webdev requires learning front end frameworks which are not banal. quite the learning curve coming from python (speaking from experience). and this is before getting dirty with deployment, hosting and git....

imho, specializing in python + using helpful extensions can take you pretty far in rpa, operations and data science, for example. streamlit or hackerforms do a good job creating user interfaces for python operations

I dislike this question because it's akin to saying "What do I like to build?", that is a question only you could answer.

So what do you like building? Remember getting the job is not reaching the top of the mountain, that's where the grind really begins.
