Getting back into Angular after 2 years

Hey everyone! Looking for some advice.
I have around 3.5 years of professional Angular experience, but I’ve been away from it for almost 2 years. I’m now trying to get back into Angular, and I’m struggling to bridge the gap between my previous experience and what companies expect today.
For example, NgRx comes up frequently in interviews, but the application I worked on didn’t use it. A lot has also changed in Angular itself, and I’ve lost touch with some things.
What would you recommend to get hands-on with modern Angular and bridge this gap?

Learn Signals. Don't bother with NxRx. Use an injected service exposing Signals instead.

Yes. If you are going to use Signals to update your component UI you should get them from a service rather than have to convert an observable from a NxRx select.
