In which stack of web technologies at the same time: a high entry threshold, high salaries and, in general, is it not a problem to find a remote worker?

Hello colleagues
I want to greatly improve my skillset, at the moment it is very banal and mainly concerns the front-end: html, css, js, in recent projects I also used vue. I know php well and one popular e-commerce CMS, I live with it at the moment, but in recent months it has gotten worse and worse, several regular customers have fallen off - there are very few orders, roughly speaking, managers have already begun to write code themselves, hence the thoughts to change the "direction" while there is still at least some income, moreover, to study a new CMS, in order to compete again with schoolchildren and entrants - there is no desire.
Now I’m choosing which stack to master, while there are only thoughts of digging towards full-stack: React for the front + Python / Django or Nodejs for the backend. It is these words that most often appear in freelance applications and it seems like the entry threshold is not very low. Correct me if I'm wrong or tell me in which direction it is better to dig. The key task is to use your intelligence to the maximum, there is a desire to upgrade your brain (and it is desirable that the rate be upgraded at the same time and become around $30-40). Well, very often lately I see how just give everyone full stacks, roughly speaking, it’s unlikely that you can study React separately and make money only on it, quite often in applications where there is React, there is also Django / Nodejs.
Still sometimes there is a strong desire to study the stack associated with a qualitatively different data visualization than the banal html / css - these are technologies such as canvas / webgl / d3.js, but for some reason I did not see a lot of work on these chips, so I sadly discard this idea as unpromising (again, I can be wrong, because I am not an expert in this stack).
By the way, why do I not want to develop towards Vue - it seems to me that all of Asia makes money on it, because. it is quite light and 50+ people run into Vue projects almost instantly. I also saw that it is often called a cheap Chinese framework, most likely it is.

a high entry threshold is no longer in technology, but in the tasks being solved.
If you offer services for creating landing pages, then the threshold (and payment) is at the level of landing pages and it doesn’t matter what you use it for. Evolve
towards creating more complex things, and technologies will be understood there.
More complex ones are all kinds of web applications, forget about sites.
And applications can already be anything and with a wide range of complexity - there may be a CRUD admin panel that any Indian throws, or there may be some kind of confused business intelligence system, where buttons in the browser are only 10% of all functionality, and this one of the reasons why they are looking for fullstacks. Fullstack is able to take a feature and make it completely, and not "throw buttons and wait for the backend" or "make an apish and give it to the front".

Java and NET are the real Enterprise. Get ready to poke around in outdated shit for a big paycheck.

how to give everyone full stacks

On the contrary, a full stack will scare away a normal HR, because. full stack ceiling - mediocrity in both stacks. Spreading specialization across two (or even three, if the full stack is fond of devops) branches reduces the speed and quality of learning, resulting in a web macaque.
In normal worthy projects, only narrow specialists work, even a layout designer, and not a front-end developer, and even tests are written there by a tester, not a developer. But everyone is an expert.

There are quite a few remote vacancies on purely React + Redux, although the real rate is 100-120 tyr per month. If in Moscow / St. Petersburg in the office, then it’s realistic to find 150+. In general, this is everything.
Moreover, these are rates for strong middle +, and the requirements are very high.
I believe that a fit signor can claim 180+, but there you need to master the whole car and trolley, successfully work on a dozen projects, be good at architecture and all sorts of intricate moments. Those. the threshold of entry is really high, it’s unrealistic to just jump in.
Well, yes, middles + and especially seniors are sorely lacking in projects and they are hunted everywhere.
But the rates are 30-40 USD, to work a couple of hours a day and not strain, I have not heard about this, and every first would probably like it that way, but the objective reality, alas, is different...

Lots of newbies. They don't get paid much anywhere.
Specialists get paid a lot. It takes time to become an expert. In order to be in the mood to improve all this time, you personally need to be interested in that area.
As soon as such a sphere appears, competition immediately forms there and earnings fall.
But - an exception - the salaries of good specialists - they are always high - in any field.

Just low. But they are suitable for remote work.
Complex worthy projects (for hundreds of man-years) are relatively rare at a distance.
