How important is knowledge of new frameworks for employment in a Middle .NET position?

Question

.NET

I have been working for 2 years in a small office for the domestic market, so they pay little (Ukraine).
Stack: ASP.NET MVC 5, JQuery and MS SQL Server.
I am looking for new opportunities.
In vacancies, things are often unknown to me: SOLID, Angular, React, Web Api, ASP.NET Core, REST, Docker, Azure, AWS.
How important is the experience of working with, say, Angular or ASP.NET Core for the middle?
Or is knowledge of the basic things of programming, the ability to solve problems more appreciated?
What salary in Ukraine can you expect knowing only what you studied at work?

Web Api, REST - for ASP.NET it is mandatory, everything rests on this now, for other .NET directions - no
SOLID - it is very, very desirable, regardless of the direction (web, desktop, mobile) in which you will work. Even the programming language is unimportant, it will come in handy everywhere.
ASP.NET Core - it is very desirable, sooner or later you will have to deal with it, because everyone is gradually switching to
Angular, React - as already written above, only if you are aiming for a full-stack vacancy, in large it-offices with a strong team of front-end specialists - individual person.
Docker, Azure, AWS are specific things for specific tasks/situations. Of the entire list, they would be the last to worry about.

Angular is not important at all, you are not going to be a front-end developer.
This is usually asked only in small startups, where all the full-stacks are Enikeys, but I don’t recommend going to such ones - you won’t gain experience, you will only stew in your own juice.

Answer 3

knowledge of front-end frameworks is not mandatory, but it significantly increases your value in the labor market
