Unfortunately it is necessary to stay employable. I hope I am wrong, but a react novice might get more interviews than a JQuery expert.

But React is now probably about 7-8 years old. Is it really this shiny new technology that "everyone must jump to"? Yes jQuery devs probably don't get a lot of work right now, and yes you probably should keep up with React itself.

But I don't think that it is necessary to literally switch technology every 1-2 years to keep up, if we can use React (or Vue) which has been stable for a while and is still wildly popular.

But aren't the React devs of today the jQuery devs of tomorrow ? Meaning that if you keep that same technology forever you will lose relevance in the market.
