One idea is to look at Vue over React. I think there are some advantages. First, PHP/Laraval has adopted Vue. Second, it's a bit easier to get into than React (and better suited for smaller/incremental projects). Third, it's easier to stand out as a Vue developer due to its smaller (but growing) market.

This isn't a technical critique … I think Vue and React are very similar … just a suggestion in terms of job searching. Best of luck!
