Suggestion for switch

I joined tcs as fresher in dec 2021 with 3.36LPA. i was on bench for 1year later in feb 2023 got a call from a manager for allocation. She told me my role will be shell script developer. I accepted to join the project and later came to know it is a legacy project in which there is no development from 5 years. I have gained little knowledge in my project on linux, apache installation, apache oidc module authentication, weblogic , and sql. By this dec i will be having 3years of experience and i couldn't justify myself what i have done. I cleared wings 1 digital exam in this may cycle and currently ctc is 8LPA ( incentives depends on appraisal band ). I am interested in front end so i learnt mysql and html/css and currently learning ReactJS. Should i continue learning React and complete some projects like cloning websites. What are the chances for switch with the react knowledge for a 3 years exp. should i continue my learning try switch on React or switch with apache, linux and weblogic knowledge? Please add your thoughts on this...

There is a huge demand for React.js developers(if you actually know things). But companies hiring for a specific domain(in your case frontend) look for people with experience in that domain. So I would suggest you will have to get into a project which uses react.js or get so strong in react.js by creating good production ready projects. One more personal suggestion would be that if you are open to learning new tech then pick something that is not being picked by the masses and has a huge potential in future. My personal picks would be Java + Springboot OR Golang. Rest up to you. All the best!

Even i thought to learn java with spring boot. But isn't it too late to start learning now ?

No, I don't think it is late. Anyway you've just started with react.js
