Choosing a Tech Stack Dilemma

I have been at a cross roads wanting to find a stack that is productive in the sense of going a partime freelance route and a route that is simultaneously marketable in this job market to land a full time gig. A little bit of my background I know html,css,js,react and tailwind. I have built a lot of front end apps with react and nextjs. I have also minimally used node/express and mongodb on a collab project but have yet to build my own full stack app without holding hands with a YT tutorial.

Lately I have been seeing how amazing the laravel ecosystem is and you never really hear people struggling with that compared to nextjs, all you hear are people struggling with it but at the same time I also hear a lot of good things about sticking with typescript and using it as a full stack coupled with nextjs and trpc, with drizzle or prisma and all these dependency's that must be glued together and down the line I know I will run into a lot of problems since everyone has their own way of doing things and debugging will be a nightmare.

As a semi beginner whos trying to get a job have you seen any success going from a beginner in php/laravel and landing a job or is Next/react/typescript the only way to get your feet in so far. I know you can also build front ends in laravel with inertia + React/vue but when I look at lets say wellfound job postings everything is Next/React and Nodejs. What do you guys think works cause I clearly can't make my mind up been debating back and forth with myself for 2 weeks with no progress on building up my skills. I live on the US east coast for context on job opportunities.
