Good luck on whatever route you plan to go. Feel free to give me a message if you need help.
If you've got frontend experience already then you'll get more experience. However, have you looked at backend? I've working professionally for 2 years primarily as a backend developer. It's just how my brain works. I can figure out API designs and problem solve a lot better than I can structure a webpage.
Try and learn concepts more than actual languages. If you master the concepts picking up a new language can be quite easy. I've had to jump from a few languages and having a good understanding on the underlying concepts (OOP, Design Patterns, Loops, Conditions, etc made the switch a lot easier.
Be willing to learn, kind of a 'no-brainer'. But you always need to be progressing. Make sure you enjoy it to. No point trying to learn something you're not interested in, it just makes things difficult. And also, if you land a junior role it's ok to ask for help.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I'll look into backend, for sure. I really like the advice to focus on concepts instead of languages. I will definitely keep that in mind as I'm learning. And I felt a huge relief reading your answer to #3, because I feel like I already have those, so thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
