Springboot vs Python for back-end

3rd sem, tier-3 college, no placement cell — need to pick a backend stack I can actually get hired with on my own.

Spring Boot postings mostly ask 2-3 YOE even for freshers. FastAPI/Django get called “less in-demand” vs Java/Node. AI/ML is the hyped direction but barely hires freshers either. Not doing MERN.

Anyone working backend jobs — is the Spring Boot experience wall as rigid as it looks, or does it flex with strong projects? And is Python backend genuinely harder to break into right now, or just perception

Tech stack really doesn‘t matter. It‘s not like that you need to pick. Learn the abstractions
