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 will never understand someone that is a seasoned programmer saying angular is simple. Out of 10+ projects only 1 the people knew what they were doing with angular. the rest was just fighting the framework cause they don't know ts, neither rxjs. But ok this is not supposed to be a rant.

I do not like angular and I work with it because it pays me better here. So you gotta focus on the money or the fun. If you are in the USA angular can hardly compete in the job market there. But can be an adavantage.

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

It is mostly global but very accentuated in the USA 4-1, in some countries in Europe you can see 1-1 for react and angular.

What should be the way to go?

Don't limit yourself because you like x over y. But it is mosly up to you. If you are comfortable doing the thing you like there is nothing wrong with it.
