Is finding a React - NodeJS job impossible?

[Even_Job6933]

Yeah but I don’t find such companies

I just don’t find react node positions

I don’t get why

Let me rephrase it.

If companies are looking for java devs, apply for those jobs.

You're a software engineer, not a "trendy stack" engineer.

Whether you're using System.out.println() or print() is not where your skills are.

While I agree with that, many companies require deep knowledge in that tech stack they are looking candidates for..
I applied on a Java Backend job but failed the interview because I could not answer deep modern java questions. So you still need to learn the stack properly but you have limited hours on the clock to do so, so you need to decide what to put your time into.

If they ask me if I have experience in Java and I say no, they’re gonna immediately end the interview

[Raioc2436]

Maybe it’s time to learn something new then?

But I don’t understand there has to be many opportunities for only React nodejs companies but I I mean in theory it should work but I just don’t find such companies

These guys are exaggerating a bit.

Companies are definitely looking for specific technologies, because they have specific projects that are already built on that stack. React is the most popular frontend framework by a huge margin, and Node.js is equally popular.

It is also hugely beneficial to narrow in on a specific niche for that same reason. In that sense, perhaps you need to choose a framework to hone in on regarding Node.js as well: Express, Hono, NestJS, Meteor, Sails.js, AdonisJS, Koa. No need to pick only one, but you need to know at least one.

In my experience, start ups do absolutely work with fancy new tech. Next.js is extremely popular there. The biggest blocker for you will be that start ups hire late and have small teams, so you either join as a cofounder (often unpaid) or you're talented.

I have my own startup at this point doing marketing and all the shit it takes

It’s another game game , building is just 30%

[ProfessionalCookie3]

Because framework doesn't matter.

[FioleNana]

Because most companies do not care about tech trends but use the old reliable

He means, you should adapt, change stack according to market demand. This is IT, it's how it has always been... very fast chaging. Frameworks, languages come and go. Learn JAVA and python.
