How important is Java for senior backend engineers?

How much does current tech stack on which I am working matters for future career prospects? Currently I develop APIs in Flask/Django, will I be deprived of opportunities in companies using Java/C#/Go?

I am working as a front-end developer in a startup for 2+ years and i want to switch to a different company. The problem is I have only worked on the frontend in my current job though my designation is SDE in my offer letter. I don't have much knowledge about backend either.While applying for jobs the JD says i should have work experience in backend tech so in this case should I apply to those jobs or not.There are very few job openings for frontend and everyone is asking for full stack. Will my interviewer asks questions for backend also though I have not worked on it? Or should I only focus on DSA.I have a good knowledge on frontend. Should I just focus on frontend and DSA for my interviews? I am planning to Target FAANGM and good product start-ups Experience - 2+ Tc - 9.5(8.5 + 1 bonus)

I'm planning to learn backend. 1. After backend basics, which language and framework should I start with 2. Should I have to learn front end technologies too? From google getting very generic response.

Hi guys, I am currently working in a SAAS startup as a backend Engineer. Tech stack: MERN, AWS, little bit of GenAI now. I know most big companies use Java springboot for their backend, so I'm thinking to learn it is I want to switch later. Or should I go for golang as it's becoming very hot in recent times. Or should I continue with NodeJS? Let me know your suggestion. I have worked on little front end development as well.

I am a backend developer working in java. I am working in the same company for the last 7+ years. How should I prepare for interviews? Should I focus on ds and algo, core java concepts or only system design is asked at this level? PS - not fixed on FAANG. Just want to join a good product company

I have 2.5+ YOE on .NET in Accenture as backend developer. But I want to switch to React and Java full stack role. I can fake react experience as I'm decent and confident on the frontend. But how do I grab a Java backend role, as I don't have any experience in it? I don't want to apply for a frontend only role, as I'm genuinely interested in Fullstack. Please suggest. I'm preparing for interviews right now.

Got an offer from 6sense after 6 months of trying. The market conditions are still so bad, i applied for over 300 positions. Got a call back from only 6 of them and cracked one!!

Hi guys, looking forward to some advice. I'm working as a Frontend developer for the past 2 yrs, tech stack is React, Javascript. I'm feeling that I'm bored with the work and not learning much now, just building components and calling new APIs. So I thought I should try backend development. The backend tech stack in my team is Java, Spring boot. I have knowledge of core Java. If I continue with the current role, I might get a promotion next yr but if I change I will not get. Also I eventually want to go to a MNC, where I see generally hiring is for backend roles where system design and DB is asked. Frontend specific hiring I mostly find in startup and mid sized companies, which I want to avoid. Another option is to switch to a different company like Microsoft, etc where they look for a general software engineer, for which I will need to study system design and DB. I'm fairly good at DSA, so not much of an issue here. What should I do?

Looking to explore the backend systems and language Seems Java is used heavily across many organisations and a lot of job postings involve Java compared to Golang, Python, Ruby, Node etc Wanted to know your experience with java codebases, how's the code quality, what issue do you'll face or in general your experience Considering several companies might be running java due to legacy code or upgrades issues. Are you'll planning to migrate these services to another language?
