Has the recent job market affected your opinion on the old advice about “Not worrying about what tech stack/programming language to learn and just getting good with one” ? /u/Demhardcoreskill CSCQ protests reddit

I was just wondering what are y’alls thoughts on this. I’m still a student and I’ve done my fair share of full stack projects, but with a heavier lean towards frontend and JS/TS frameworks. I wanted to take a deeper dive into backend fundamentals and was planning on sticking with node.js/express to learn about these backend topics more in depth, but found out there are signifcantly more c#(.net)/Java Spring openings in my area.

While I believe I would be able to learn these backend concepts a lot more efficiently inuitively if i stay within the js realm, I worry that once i start applying for roles again, companies will now have the luxury of choosing people who are competent in a specific tech stack rather than picking the candidate with the most swe knowledge, but uses a less popular tech stack. I was wondering if i should just bite the bullet and learn the more dificult tech stack or if im truly just overthinking. I’ve had previous swe intern experience before, so I know all of the skills translates when going over to another stack but I feel like the specific tech stack you choose matters so much more now
