Aiming to be a web developer, need help

Hello, I have recently completed a comprehensive full-stack development certification course on Intellipaat (https://intellipaat.com/course-cat/website-development-courses/).
Should I go for separate Angular JS training and React JS training courses also available on the website so as to get a firm grip on web development?

    I highly suggest you focus on one thing: why learn both Angular and React? You'll have so much on your shoulders you won't be able to master neither.

    Focus on either Angular OR React.

    All the best!

    Going for Angular will more likely increase your chance on getting a job since it’s used more by big companies. But i believe that might change soon.
    React is easier to learn, but you’ll have to learn the 3th party tools like Redux/Router etc, Angular really is a complete framework while react isnt.

  3. 1

    Focus on getting a personal network instead. If you keep self-learning too long no-one will want to hire you because of the 'gap in your resume'.

    Beginner jobs seem to be less and less prevalent. But having had a beginner job is a more important in the eyes of recruiters than being knowledgeable/competent.

    Agreed with @matteing to focus on one.

    Also, note that AngularJS is NOT Angular. AngularJS is ancient- so I'm assuming you meant Angular.

    Depending on your end goal, you may want to research what local companies are using if you're trying to get hired. (Even though remote is becoming more popular, it's worth noting local stuff will never go away).
