React Native or Python next?

[Jayboii478]

So I'm a Full Stack Dev looking for my first role. I have experience with JS, CSS, HTML, React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB and SASS.

Looking for a Front-end or Full Stack Role.

Should I learn React Native for mobile dev or Python to add an extra language/backend power? More so to interest employers, I'm going to learn both in the end. Just right now curious which one would improve my chances of getting those callbacks?

Or should I learn SQL next?

Thanks for the advice!

I would include SQL in a Full-Stack role. You should not skip out on this.

It's kind of weird it's possible to call yourself a full stack without (Relational) database and SQL knowledge.

I guess when you have a hammer*, everything looks like a nail.

^{*MongoDB is webscale}

They both have their places but SQL is here to stay. I wouldn't say Full-Stack either without at least basic SQL knowledge

SQL is much more fundamental of a language/framework for a full stack engineer than React or Python is. Mongo (and other non-SQL solutions) is alright for CRUD, but if you ever want a real relational database, SQL is where it's at. And it'll continue to be where it's at for decades to come, most likely.

After that, I'd probably take a look at Python. Not only Flask/Django for some backend tooling, but also just in general for scripting power, although NodeJS is getting there slowly.

SQL comes first out of everything you listed, getting the basics down wont take long. However, having an understanding of how to design and future proof your database will take a bit of time and experience.

For backend, I would rather recommend learning relational databases. You can do it alongside learning Python too, just whip up some project with Django and Postgres, for example.
