I'm currently struggling with the path I should take, I'm interested in backend, and I'm currently learning JavaScript with the hopes of learning nodeJs when I'm done with JavaScript but I'm not sure if that would be all I will need to be a qualified junior backend software dev, anybody has any ideas or tips on the path I should take after learning JavaScript and nodeJs??
You'll very likely be learning JavaScript and NodeJS for a while so there may be no 'after'.
You should pick up and learn your database technologies really well along the side - SQL, NoSQL. Afterwards, you should learn a bit of infrastructure and deployment.
Also, if you're trying to learn just backend without doing anything frontend, I won't advise that. You don't have to be really good at it, but you should know enough frontends to get things done before you move to backend.

For the front-end, I learnt the basics of HTML and CSS already, and I create some basic projects with them, nothing really too deep tho.
