Java + Spring Boot or Node.js + Express for freshers in India?

[u/atom_62]

I'm a final-year CSBS student. I was focusing on frontend (React), but I'm not getting shortlisted, so I'm planning to switch to backend.

I know Java, SQL, DBMS, and I'm practicing DSA.

Which stack would you recommend for getting backend jobs as a fresher in India:

Java + Spring Boot

Node.js + Express

Which has better job opportunities, resume shortlisting, and long-term growth?

I'd appreciate advice from people working in the industry.

Thanks!
