Does it make sense to switch to another stack?

I am 23 and am a full stack JavaScript developer. In general, I can't find a job. I write under open source. 2 projects, one large one in a team with a front end developer. Another not so big b2b system. I am writing it alone.
My stack is
React/Redux Vue/Vuex Express/Koa/Hapi Mongo/PostgressSQL.
I had a month of commercial development experience. Remote with angular. I didn't like the company so I decided to leave. In general, I have 2 years of non-commercial JS development experience.
And HR managers just skip all my applications for remote work. I do not know what to do. Learn something new like nest.js, learn 2 more databases. Make some project on microservices using oauth2 and so on. Or just move to another stack. I am offered a job mainly in my city by web studios that are engaged in bitrix and other things that are not interesting to me.
*or even go to the blockchain system

I looked at your post, your resume, your responses to comments and I have one question - are you on cocaine or are you trying to pass off the ability to write some command in the terminal as a skill?
Seriously, Angular, Vue, React, and even backender skills? It seems that there is not enough perseverance and when studying some technology or solving problems using this technology, you stumble upon a problem, forget about technology and go to study something else, hoping that there will be no more problems.
You call your technology stack too big a list, which causes distrust and bewilderment.
And it’s okay if you were over 30, so you are only 23 years old with 2 years of development.
And these 2 years - these are not pages in the labor, this is not some kind of GPC, this is not a resume, that is.

1) Leaving the distance that you could find on the experience of a jun is just mega stupid. You need to at least get 9-12 months of work, then you will already be considered as a developer.
In the meantime, HR sees that you merged after a month and thinks: “Well, fuck him, either he is conflicted, or he is “a mother’s IT specialist who wants 100k from the start,” or he is a hand-ass”
i.e. it is better to remove this experience from the resume altogether. (well, that's just a hint)
2) It's very hard to find remote work without real development experience at Jun's level. Whether you are at least JS, at least PHP, at least Java developer. It's not about stacks.
3) Ideally, you need to get a job line that worked as a programmer conditionally for 9 months (at least on something) - after that, it will be easier to find a remote job, or already leave for an offer in St. Petersburg, Moscow or another city

If already being some kind of specialist you cannot find a job in the stack that is most in demand today, then why did you decide that by starting to study something else you can become more successful.

JavaScript is now one of the most sought after and highly paid stacks.
Perhaps you should pump up your knowledge in this particular stack, since you even made two mistakes in the name of the language.
"Java scrit? I tried" - the caption to your avatar (and that's not to mention the absence of a space and a dot).
A trifle, but gives you a not very qualified and not very attentive employee. Maybe the same goes for a resume.

Didn't find what you were looking for?
