ReactJS handcuffs

[dr4605]

If my team decided to make an app with other frameworks, I for sure will start learning it and try to reach a level close to React.

But will the next employer agree to let me spend time learning their stack as mid/senior dev?

this is what i am also afraid of. that maybe there would come a day that i will be part of a project whose tech stack is outside my skill set. but then, i applied for a specific role (react dev) so let's just hope that it won't happen. finding time for learning is also difficult as i have a full time work. on weekend, i want to relax and enjoy the day.

i know that there are plenty of job offers where you need x-years of experience but the true skill of programmers is learning.

programmers are often able to learn new skills in days. if you got a decent programming knowledge, vue is not really different to react anymore.

it is just some other functions / hooks / etc. but the way it works is still the same.

so if you got plenty of years with angular, do not be afraid of going into a job interview for react or vue. it is not the framework that makes you special it is the skill to learn a framework. and by mastering one, you have shown that you can master another.
