How the hell am I meant to get a new job in Edinburgh/Glasgow so I can learn React/Angular/Vue when no-one will hire someone without experience in those frameworks?!

I was in 2 roles back to back and in that time, every single Front End Development role now available in the market requires commercial experience in React/Angular/Vue in order to proceed.

Even the 18k Grad/Junior Development roles require commercial experience in some sort of JS Framework yet I'm certainly not a Grad/Junior.

HOW DOES ANYONE USE IT COMMERCIALLY IF THEY'VE GOT NO EXPERIENCE.

I'm doomed.

For the record, I'm a Front End Developer with 3 Years of experience with personal study experience in React.

    Send your application anyway. Chances are that they aren't getting anyone with commercial experience and it won't matter or that they will hire those without experience and just use "You have no experience that we require, so we can't pay you industry standard salary".

    Job requirements are partially like wish lists, not like hard requirements. If employers don't get or can't afford the experienced applicants, they will go for the less experienced ones.

    If, however, there are enough experienced applicants at affordable price, then the market is saturated and doesn't need new participants.
