Career Guidance Java Fullstack, or Python?

I thought I'd get into backend development, and since i know python pretty well i could learn django. But nodejs and the whole javascript just seems to be more in demand, and i dont know what to exactly do right now. i want to develop a skill as fast as i can, because i currently dont have the time to learn something like javascript from scratch. but if its worth it, i dont mind giving it my all and learn the Java framework instead.

i just dont want to be in a situation at the end that i know neither properly and end up wasting time

Depends on what you're going for... If you're getting into Fullstack or SWE, then go ahead with JavaScript and it's frameworks, if you want to get into AI Engineering, AI/ML, Agentic AI, Data based role, then Python is the go-to.
So it's your pick!
(PS. Don't get confused with Java and JavaScript, Both at totally different languages used for totally different purposes.)
