I have been working with React and modern Js for a year now.
Before that, I was stuck in confort zone, coding Magento stores for 7 years.
I started Udacity React Nano Degree program and after completing it, i quit my old job with money to live for 3 months. My ten years experience helps and I got a new job really fast.
So, I have working with React for a year and really enjoying so far.
If I would gave some advice for someone in same situation, I would tell you to don't get too much focused in code, trust in other skills like soft skills and teamwork, most companies are really looking for this.
Awesome! So great to hear your story! Sounds like you had a specific change in mind and you were able to make it happen by focusing your learning to a specific technology. For those that might be curious, how long did the transition that take, from the time you decided to make the change to getting the new job?
Also TIL that Magento is e-commerce platform in PHP, never knew about it :)

I had no experience with modern Js before and in react course was the first time I touch react
