- There are a lot of full-stack developer jobs in the industry

In my career, I have seen being an independent developer as a very big benefit as when you start working on a task you don’t have to be dependent on backend services to be ready or UI to be ready. You are the one who will do both and very little chance of getting issues like API services are not up to the mark or not in sync with UI etc.
What all you need to learn?
You will have to learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript for Frontend development, also it is an advantage to know frontend frameworks or libraries like ReactJS, Angular, Vue, etc, and any DB either NoSQL or SQL, and any of the backend programing language such as Java, Python, PHP, NodeJS, etc.
