How to organize a plan for the further development of a front-end developer?

Question

css

Hello! I apologize for the question, which in many causes rather sarcastic laughter, but I'll ask it anyway, because. of all the questions that I have studied here, many are either very old, others are not quite on the topic that I want to ask.
I am almost 26 years old and about 2 years ago, when I realized that my education would give me nothing but a beautiful diploma, I began to study layout first, then front-end in general, then gradually began to switch to full stack. and now I can evaluate my strength like this:
- a pretty good layout designer who knows how to layout semantically correctly according to the latest specifications
- I'm pretty good at javascript, jquery + in general I know why and how to use angular (80 percent), backbone ( ~80), react (~70)
- at the middle level I work with node (for the most part I use the functionality that is needed for the front-end, such as gulp, browserify, etc.. but for the back-end as a whole I understand what to do and how), php, wordpress, mysql
- plus a lot just the little things, all sorts of api, the basics of ruby ​​and python (no deepening, just the syntax as a whole)
The question is this, I don’t know how I can develop in the future, I can’t get a job, over the past two months I sent my resume to a bunch of offices (about 20-25), they answered only from one place that they would contact me, but they didn’t answer after. In general, I can’t understand what to do, I carry out side projects from time to time, which does not suit me at all and I would like to direct my forces in the right direction. Can someone tell me what is really in demand on the market now and what I can master in the shortest possible time based on what I have described and where the competition would not be prohibitive! I think either to completely immerse myself in node now and look for work already as a full-stack developer, or even change the profile. in general, I don't know! I start reading all the books that I have not read, and in them either everything that I already know (basics and above average), or some incomprehensible cosmic things (level "God"). Surely everyone went through this stage, can anyone advise how to be and what skill to really develop in order to find a job within a month or two! Thank you

Answer 1

there has always been, is and will be a staff shortage in the webdev market.
if you can’t get a job anywhere, you either ask for a lot, or you overestimate yourself and “pretty good” is not true.
in any case, this canvas of text ("Dear diary ...") is not for the toaster

Answer 2

The question is what?
State it in one sentence

Answer 3

Despite the detailed description, the text does not describe the experience (perhaps to employers too). I think the point is not that you urgently need to learn something new and allegedly more in demand, but that there is a combination of non-core education and a lack of projects in the portfolio / experience.
Where, for example, such accurate estimates:
80% is like? behind this may lie the lack of participation in the development of large projects on these frameworks.
in general, angular2/1, react - enough in the trend, in your case it may not be enough base, maybe it's worth doing native / HTMl5 api
PS I answer questions on skype (in the evening), contacts in the profile

Answer 4

After two years on large projects on Angular, I can’t say that the level of ownership of it is 80% )) Evaluate your capabilities soberly (without interest), do not spray yourself - focus on one technology, get yourself a profile on github and lab your own project, it will be that show employers to start.

Answer 5

No offense, but in 2 years... with so many technologies you can become... a shit coder. Without real projects and examples anywhere. Next, you need to study potterns and make practical applications. Make a website, for example, angular front, python backend. Show yourself - everyone looks at the code. But this is 70-80% nonsense on paper from high self-esteem or lack of experience. This is how people usually write whose code you can open and understand that something is wrong in every 2nd line, not to mention the whole application itself. And I completely agree with L0k1 .

Answer 7

Can I see your resume or portfolio? It's important how you present yourself. If needed, I can help compose or correct.
