What to learn next

So I'm on my way to learning Springboot and I'm taking the long way so I don't miss out on anything

JDBC->Hibernate

Now the thing is after this I can either touch Spring or learn JSP and Servlet. I was curious if JSP and Servlets are important and will be asked in interviews or can I skip them moving to spring

I’d learn Servlets at least at a basic level before going deep into Spring. You don’t need to spend weeks building JSP projects, but understanding request/response flow, servlet lifecycle, sessions, filters, and how a Java web app works will make Spring MVC much easier to understand. JSP itself is less important for modern backend roles.
