You should learn whatever you need to for whoever will hire you.

but something should be learnt first to hired by someone.

Node isn’t outdated, but Java/Spring will open up a different and often larger pool of backend roles. Learn core Java first, then Spring Boot, JPA and testing. With 4.8 years of React experience, you can position yourself as a full-stack developer while making the transition.

[u/Sensitive-Tea-114]

Learn Java !! Nodejs can never be a backend language despite so being so much modern, no big successful backend developed companies choice is to use nodejs as their first language. I would say go all in and learn Java if you have time. If you are very busy with job and life and dont want to invest that much amount of time, pick nodejs beacuse learning java will not be easy due to advance concepts

[u/cloudsquall8888]

If you already do backend work, the concepts will be there. The translation to Spring Boot will be kinda fast. The thing that needs real studying if you want jobs is Spring Data JPA/Hibernate, because it has many bits and pieces and footguns and it is not straight-forward at all.
