13,183 PointsWhat technology will give me the best return on my time investment?
I completed the front end course and am working on putting together my front end portfolio, but I still feel like I want to learn new things.
So my question is: what is the best use of the limited time that I have? I am torn between starting the full stack Javascript course (this may give me a deeper understanding of a language that I like using), or a front end framework like Angular or React (since it seems a lot of companies look for these skills in new hires), or is there something else I'm not thinking about?
I'm not looking for the "right" answer-- just a good argument from a more experienced developer than myself :-)
Thanks, community! Cheers, and happy coding!

The skills acquired from Full Stack Javascript will be useful where frameworks are used and where they are not.
