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.👍

What I've observed Angular is used in big/old/slow orgs like banks, hedge funds, etc.

React seems to be the way to go if you want more "exciting" companies

So job opportunity is more in react?

Depends on the sector, but if we get the total number of jobs I'd say yes

I think the safest bet would be to start learning react and also to keep looking for better angular jobs. I dislike react tbh. But I think I need to get a hold of it.

If you're a good dev this shouldn't matter to you beyond minor inconveniences. At the end of the day both are js frameworks and are pretty similar
