I am old, so my thoughts will differ. Also, seriously ask yourself:

1. Do you want to get a job, or

2. Do you want to build amazing thing

The technologies that will get you a job are not the ones that build amazing things. I was a JavaScript developer for more than 15 years, but now I do something different.

---

* Any of Node.js / Bun / Deno. I know they are not front end, but mastering them will super charge your localhost development.

* TypeScript

* Chart.js

* HTML video/audio tags. Building your own media player in the browser is ridiculously easy.

* Web Sockets, and also Web Transport. Web Transport is not all the way there yet, but it looks like it might be the replacement for Web Sockets

Definitely Angular. My go to framework for enterprise development.

PS: I am not looking for job, just curious to learn new things.
