If Spring is popular, and you want a Java job, you should learn Spring. Not knowing Spring puts you at a disadvantage compared to other candidates. I wouldn't waste time learning Scala or Haskell, those aren't very popular in the industry — focus on something that can land you a job, check what languages and frameworks are the most popular in Mexican companies and learn those.
- zerr 2y agoMost of the time, job postings don't care about the knowledge of tech X, but rather the past several years of professional experience using tech X.
- Kwpolska 2y agoFor entry-level jobs, some knowledge is better than zero knowledge.

Or do it backwards - look for jobs that use the techology you want to learn, then apply for a junior position. Unfortulately our industry gravitate to whatever technology is the most popular at the moment.
- Kwpolska 2y ago> Then look for jobs that use those technologies! There are very few jobs for niche technologies, you might end up not finding any you like or where you would be accepted. If you want a job, you must sometimes pick something that is less interesting, but actually used in the industry. > look for jobs that use the techology you want to learn, then apply for a junior position You would lose to a candidate who knows anything about the technology. There are tons of applicants for junior positions, and someone who doesn’t know a thing is at a disadvantage.
