Need help with in what order I should learn these

So, I've been working with ReactJS for quite some time now. Kinda getting bored. So, I decided to spend some time upskilling this month and start applying for jobs next month. I have 2 things in my mind that I want to pickup, but unable to decide in what order I should add them to my arsenal.

  • NextJS 13 (app dir)
  • TS (for both ReactJS and NextJS)

I also wanted to expand myself from frontend to fullstack (probably to MERN), but some fullstack devs suggested me to stick to one end and get really good at it because your expertise in one end is what fetches you a good job and not being a "jack of all trades, master of none" dev. So, this has also kept me in the middle ground right now.

I did try to explore nextJS with a UI library but most UI libs ask you to have them declared as client components. Doesnt that defeat the advantage of SSR that we get on nextJS by default? Saw many people facing this issue.

What would you suggest ?

I'm not as senior only 1.5yoe. I'm also in FE, I think your seniors are right and I was also confused about that. But listen and think about what they suggested.

Yes. That's why I've come down to nextJS and TS. I want to learn both, but can be doing that at the same time. Want to go with nextJS but TS is something I want to learn because of the benefits it brings on top of JS.

I'd learn TS first. More general and useful. Either one is fine though, just start and keep going
