Wow, that is too bad about getting slammed with recruiters. It has been somewhat similar to me as well, then I will do a phone convo with them and they will say "oh, they are looking for someone with 3 years of experience in React".... I'll be like dude, why did you contact me lol
I'm a Vue developer (for the most part) but I have dabbled in react and I could get comfortable enough to take a job with it in just about a week. Anything in the JavaScript ecosystem. Probably even angular although I expect angular would take a little bit longer than react because it's so much more opinionated.
But I think that most employers will understand that. I think that any employer that would only hire me as a 'Vue developer' would feel short sighted. BUT - I would never take a job as a PHP developer. I turned down a job recently as a developer on an ASP.net web app with bootstrap and jQuery (because it sounded like a really boring stack) - but the lead developer expressed that he wanted to redesign the website with a more modern technology eventually, I suggested that he turned it over to me and that I rebuild it with Blazor and he felt that it wasn't mature enough of a technology.
I've gotten a lot of job offers in .net but I haven't touched the .net ecosystem since I fall in love with node.
I'm not sure what it's like for most developers who are looking for a job at the moment but I get the feeling that any employer should be able to find enough information about me if they want to that they should know if I'm a good fit for the job before they even reach out. There's so much information available, even just on GitHub. The trend of HR people without development experience hiring developers is a really bad trend that does nothing but waste everyone's time all around.
