Is .NET relevant for starting a career as a junior backend in 2021?

Question

.NET

Hello. I want to become a programmer, but lately I have doubts about the chosen language/framework.

I work as a tech pod in the IT department, where I have the opportunity to learn C# and ASP.NET MVC under the supervision of colleagues. At the beginning of the study, I had no doubts and intended to become a .NET developer, and I have been studying it at a leisurely pace for half a year, fixing minor bugs and just admiring such a complex project in Visual Studio.
But recently, I started to google - and what is generally popular in the backend for 2021. And to my great disappointment, I did not find my dotnet there.
It is clear that the platform itself remains relevant to this day, a lot of enterprise projects are written on it, and there are moderate amounts of .NET developer vacancies.
But maybe C# and .NET are not the best choice for a novice programmer in 2021? Maybe it would be more correct to close your eyes to the 6-month study of c # and try to switch to such languages ​​(frameworks) JS (Node.JS), Python (Django) or Go in general? Help to understand, please.

Judging by it - ASP NET Core is the most loved framework among web developers.
But at the same time, the old ASP NET is one of the most disliked.
