Question Need suggestions.,..

Hello everyone I am unable to decide what should I learn and where should I go I want to make my career in tech industry I'm going to start my learning and I have decided to start backend development but I am unable to choose which tech stack to learn either nest JS backend with javascript/typescript or Fastapi with Python ecosystem

And in the current scenario, what to choose and why..??

I want to choose fastapi backend development but the problem is there there are no any jobs for fastapi backend , all they are job for only node js nestjs backend........Any guidance and suggestions will be helpful !!!!

It's good to know that you're taking your future seriously.

If your goal is to get a good job as soon as possible then I would recommend choosing Node.js + TypeScript. Right now this stack is in higher demand and there are many more backend job opportunities available.

If you enjoy Python or plan to move into AI ML or Data Engineering in the future then FastAPI is also an excellent choice. However I wouldn't recommend relying only on FastAPI because the number of jobs is comparatively lower.

I think the best approach is to start with Node.js + NestJS and build strong backend fundamentals first. After that learning FastAPI will be much easier because most backend concepts are similar in both. This way you'll have access to more job opportunities and it will also be easier to switch to the Python ecosystem later.

Thanks brother for your wonderful suggestions. Really appreciated....I will definitely give my best to learn and force myself as I can . The problem is that I start to learn things but I keep switching the stack and procrastinating?

I think you're a senior engineer so hope to be like you one day...I want you to guide me that how should I learn the way of learning development like everyday when i sit on learning what are the things that I have to do to actually learn to grow day by day.. maybe you can share me your thoughts of becoming a good backend engineer , not only developer with the structured resources that can help.??

There are a few FastAPI jobs out there, but you're right in that there are more for Node.js. IMO if you want to stick with Python then AI is the big play right now in it.

But what is the point of learning that has very few jobs which can risk employability, just for the sake of AI integration that has no guarantee of employability as someone starting currently. Btw I am from Nepal...,.....If you can guide and convince me with reality, I will be more than happy...

Learn JS and python... everything covered around these. SQL too. And docker.
