What’s the Best Path for a Beginner Coder to Land a Job Fast?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm a 20-year-old looking to shift from hobby coding to a professional career. I've played around with languages like Java, C#, HTML, and CSS, but I need to focus on one area to improve my job prospects. I have zero professional experience and want to know which route is generally easier for a beginner to enter between front-end and back-end development. Specifically, should I focus on learning React, or go for .NET or Spring? I'm trying to find the path that has the most entry-level openings right now. I really appreciate honest feedback without any sugarcoating. What's the best stack for someone starting from scratch? Thanks!

In my opinion, it really comes down to researching what’s in demand locally. There are so many factors at play, and it’s important to realize that getting a great job often takes more than a couple of months of training.
