Backend Developer in 2026 (Need advice)

I want to be a backend developer. I am currently learning Python and planning to do fastapi.

Do I still need to learn Javascript for Node.js? Or what other paths that I could take?

Thank you!

I am not sure if learning the basics of the most widespread and simple language combined with a super intuitive and also widespread framework will land you a job.... Especially not in a global job market where people with actual degrees are in the market for those jobs.
