I'm surprised that Node.js and full-stack jobs seem scarce. When I was last job searching in 2017, I was able to find numerous local (Indianapolis) and remote jobs for JS-based stacks. My two pieces of advice:
1. Rather than focusing on the language, you may get more satisfaction by pursuing a particular industry or sector in which you're interested (for example, podcasting or robotics) and then learning the stack needed to apply for jobs in those fields. If you're working in a problem space in which you're deeply interested, the language feels more like a means to an end rather than an end in and of itself.
2. To help with this, use AngelList (https://angel.co https://angel.co) to search for jobs with startups working in spaces that interest you.
