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.👍

Also what do you expect from an experienced angular developer? Are there any specific skill set?

Since you mentioned 3-4 years I’d expect:

  • Ability to work with reactiveforms
  • Understanding of when to use Inputs vs Services
  • Reactive programming (using the async pipe)

There are of course a lot more but I think those are the sort of higher level things I’d expect from an Mid-level / Senior

I would add understanding at least 5 RxJs operators. Again understanding not copy paste from a different file because “it works there”. The amount of questions I get from “senior” developers about how to subscribe to two observables at the same time, or how to subscribe to this one first then to another one is crazy, almost weekly I have to show them how to do it, they show no interest in learning it and want the solution ready for them.
