I'd say define some side projects and try out different stuff for rendering the UI. Start out with a rendering library, not a framework. Check out stuff like react, preact, vue, inferno, mithril and pick the one which makes the best first impression. If you learn one of these, you can pick up any of the others pretty quickly. Because they aim to do one thing well, the learning curve is not too frightening. Pull in additional stuff (e.g. redux) once it becomes clear to you that you are running into the problem that it claims to solve. But not any sooner.

As for job opportunities, don't think too hard about it. The frameworks that you'll see listed in job ads are pretty much a time shifted image of what was hot three to five years years ago since a lot of projects will have bought into one framework or the other. These days I see a lot of angular 1.x jobs, and some react jobs. In a few years I expect more react. You need solid Javascript knowledge, a lot of curiousity, and just enough buzzwords to get over the threshold, and you'll be all right.

Thank you for your comment, it kind of eases the frustration i feel right now. I will try and train my general JS skills for time being and re-jump to Vue or use it as a Jquery replacement as i have done until now.
