Fresher. Need help with choosing technologies.

I've recently started my journey with a product-based company as a fresher, where my primary focus revolves around backend development using Node.js. Although I thoroughly enjoy delving into backend architecture and databases, I find myself at a crossroads. Heard many discussions among seniors of the rise of Deno, Go, and Rust, suggesting a shift from JavaScript. In view of a long-term perspective, I am contemplating dedicating time to learning an additional technology and engaging in side projects. Could you kindly share your insights or recommendations based on your experience? Your guidance in this tech landscape would be greatly appreciated. #BackendExploration #TechInsights

Increasing your depth with JavaScript and Typescript programming languages and the overall ecosystem of these two will help you a lot in terms of growth. Increase all kinds of database experience, these days every product or the org needs to use SQL, NoSQL and other kinds of databases. This is the majority of industry tech stack as per my observations. Would like to listen to other answers as well.

Stay in backend if u want good career progression, kinda defined interviews, and easier transfer of skills. Just my opinion. Go is worth picking up
