Can I get a job as a Node.js backend developer? Node Market Down
I graduated in 2023 and am currently looking for a job. However, I see very few job openings for freshers in Node.js backend development. People keep telling me to learn frontend and become a full-stack developer, but I don’t enjoy frontend development. Every time I tried learning frontend, I failed because I struggle with CSS. Even though component libraries are available, I’m not very good at using them. I do understand core React.js, but frontend is not my strength.
My goal is to get a job as soon as possible, ideally within the next two months. What should I do to achieve this?
My current skill set:
- Node.js, NestJS, Express
- MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB
- AWS (S3, EC2)
- GraphQL, Microservices
- Kafka, Redis, Zod, and more
How can I maximize my chances of getting a backend developer job?
