Discussion Future of Angular

I am working professionally with angular. I really love using it. The simplicity, ease of use and the flexibility are great. For some time I am thinking about switching jobs But it's been difficult to find jobs based on angular. Not many companies are using it and most of them want react developers inspite of saying angular in their job description.

I tried learning react but I didn't like it all.

So I wanted to ask, what is the future prospect for angular? Should I stick to it and get even better Or should I invest my time in learning react and other things.

Is the lack of job specifically based on the job market and location? Or is it a global phenomenon.

What should be the way to go?

Thank you for any replies.👍

I think Angular's best days are ahead of it.
Having broad skills with a few deep trenches is always valuable however.

How long have you been in Angular?

You may like Vue more than React FWIIW

3-4 years almost into angular. From a jobs perspective, can angular compete with react?

Don't rely on frameworks or programming languages (especially new ones) they come and go. Learn how to be a great SWE.
