Nodeja is in high demand for back-end jobs? Vast majority of back-end jobs are Java or C#. I've only ever seen startups use Node for backend. Many of them use Go.

How many roles/companies have you worked in? Check some stats from StackOverflow or other sources as your experience isn't what determines the market demand https://www.devjobsscanner.com/blog/top-8-most-demanded-programming-languages/.

90%+ of the companies I worked with use Nodejs. Everyone is biased towards the tech stack that they use, and obviously if you use Java then you might not like Nodejs, but doesn't mean that it's not the most popular and in demand option right now.

I've worked for many companies over the last 12 years doing contract work. Everything from startups to Fortune 100.

Government, medical and financial do a lot of C#. Large enterprises are all Java (Best Buy used Groovy). Out of dozens of companies I've seen a few startups use Node but some prefer Go.

Your link ranks JavaScript as #1 not NodeJS. Node is rarely used beyond local frontend dev. No enterprise is using NodeJS for their APIs.

I'm not talking about bias, I'm talking about facts.

Your experience is valid but it doesn’t define the entire industry. You're talking about legacy heavy sectors like government and finance, where Java and C# dominate (although I've worked in ALL industries you mentioned government + healthcare + finance where they used Nodejs). Enterprises do use Nodejs maybe it's not in the industries you've worked in, but that doesn’t make it "rare"

I'm talking about facts not my experience. Show me actual data that shows Node / express is in the top 5 of backend stacks. I just don't see it. It's fine to learn but it won't get someone a backend job is my point.

Anyways cheers!
