I live in the SF Bay Area and there are no shortage of jobs in Django. It is true there are also plenty of jobs in Node, but you can’t compare a framework to a backend language. I see far more python jobs than node jobs.
2 things to keep in mind though (for reference I’m a python/Django dev but have experience in node and c# as well): 1. Just because something is very popular doesn’t mean it’s the easiest to get a job in. There may be more python/JS jobs out there, but there are also way more people applying to them. There are plenty of .NET jobs out there, and far less entry level developers who are looking for them. Nearly every single entry level developer is looking for those python/JS jobs 2. Often times the language and framework you’re experienced in doesn’t matter. I recently had an interview for a Go position, and I was allowed to pick which language I wanted to do the interview in. Most web development jobs are looking for your understanding of general software and web development principles. If you understand html/css/js, sql databases in regards to MVC architecture, MVC architecture itself, and REST API’s and requests, it probably won’t matter what language as long as you can prove it. Knowing the language and framework of the company you’re applying to is kind of just brownie points and improves your chances. If I’m amazing at django and web development but don’t know the language being used, I’ll generally be chosen over someone who’s shaky on web development who uses the same language as the company Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 14, 2018, at 6:18 PM, Arturo Fernandez <afern...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello community, today someone at work told me to bare in mind which tech I > use in terms of profitability.
