Hey everyone! I'm in my final year of college and trying to decide on a tech stack to focus on. I've finished my Data Structures and Algorithms course in Java but haven't worked on any development projects yet. I've noticed that many of my peers are opting for Python right now. Since I'm already comfortable with Java, I was thinking about diving into Spring or Spring Boot for backend development. However, I've seen some discussions suggesting that junior Java developers might not have as many job opportunities. Is that true? Should I stick with Java and Spring Boot, or would it be wiser to switch to Python to boost my job prospects? I'd really appreciate any advice or insights you all might have! Thanks!

Both languages are great! I recommend choosing based on the projects you're interested in. Once you've worked on a few, transitioning to the other language won't be too challenging. Go with what feels right for you!
Python is a fantastic first language! Java can be a bit heavy for newcomers. If you're looking for something user-friendly, consider languages like Go or Dart!
I'm in my final year, so I don't have the time to try both. I need to focus.
