Modern user interface development is a complex and comprehensive field, and React stands out as one of the most distinctive and in-demand Front-end technologies for solving its challenges.

Before learning any new skill, you want to ensure that investing time, money, and effort is truly worth it. So in this blog, I’ll share 5 reasons why learning React will be the best decision for your Web development career.

  1. High Demand According to Quess’s report, the number of job vacancies for React developers has increased by 184%! The reason is that its simplicity saves developers time, which is particularly attractive to companies: developers’ saved time means saved money for companies. Therefore, React technology makes it convenient for companies to complete projects in less time, which naturally reflects on the demand for React developers.

It’s worth noting that according to LinkedIn, React is the #1 most in-demand Front-end technology, and interestingly, 47.6% of technology-related job postings require React.

  1. High-Paying You’ll probably agree that something so in-demand and important is also well-compensated.

In Georgia, the average monthly salary for a React developer is around 3500 GEL, while in the international market, annual income ranges from $54,000 to $92,000. Additionally, the profession allows you to work as a freelancer on major platforms like Toptal and Upwork.

If you’re curious about the average rates on these platforms, React developers’ hourly rates range from $20-$48 (Upwork: $20-38; Toptal: $36-48).

  1. React is the #1 Front-end Technology According to GitHub’s survey, React was named the #1 Front-end technology. Also, in Stack Overflow’s 2020 developer survey, React was named the #2 most loved framework among developers, which isn’t surprising as it’s very comfortable for developers: it allows creating dynamic, scalable user interfaces with minimal coding in very short time.
  2. Huge Community And of course, such a popular technology has the advantage of having a huge community around it:

It has up to 7 million downloads weekly. As a result, more and more resources appear – just look at how many open-source projects are on GitHub! Moreover, Facebook is trying to make React the best JavaScript library in the market, which guarantees the long-term relevance of the React developer profession.

Currently, over 1,000,000+ websites are built with React technology, including companies like BBC, Twitter, Reddit, Netflix, Facebook, Dropbox, Khan Academy, Airbnb, PayPal, Walmart, Tesla Motors, IMDb, etc.

  1. Growth Opportunities Finally, after learning it, you can not only create complex web applications but also develop in the direction of React Native and create applications for iOS and Android devices.

If after reading this blog you’re even more convinced this is what you want to learn, I’ll tell you that you can learn React at CommSchool. The program will be led by Lasha Kakhidze, who currently holds the position of Senior Software Engineer at the American company Padsplit.
