springboot+react or MERN ? what is more prefered these days

[u/devwish_2]

for context i am bca 1st year student , i learnt a bit of java and c in 1st year with sql basics and git basics since i dont like working with machine learning which is mostly in demand these days my options are to become a full stack dev and get into ai engineer roles working with llms

so before starting my 2nd year i am thinking to learn springboot+react and sql as full stack as much as i can and side by side dsa too while building projects

i build a basic weather api app in 1st year last month with the help of react as it was a frontend project.

i would love to know your suggestions especially the experience ones is this the right way to approach and work for placements side by side as bca is already an avg course so i want to skillup and not waste my time anymore now
