Currently an unemployed front end developer, what should I learn in my free time? /u/that-achadia CSCQ protests reddit

I graduated as a bachelor’s in computer science, I landed my first job in January 2021. I got laid off this year a few months ago. So I have 2-3 years of experience.

I was mainly a front end dev (React). I do have knowledge of Node JS but no hands-on experience in the backend. I want to eventually become a full stack MERN developer.

I’ve been thinking of doing a course to brush up my skills and possibly get better at back end programming. I’ve read that The Odin Project is really good. I’ve also been thinking of leet coding in my free time as well (I currently suck at those).

Is all of this a ‘good’ enough plan till I start applying for jobs again? What else can I do to utilize this unemployment gap?
