Every company in the Bay Area wants React. All of my experience is in Angular.

I moved to the Bay Area because I fell in love San Francisco and California. I have over 5 years of experience in front-end development primarily using Angular, with about a year designing and developing a product with NestJS and various AWS services. My contract was not renewed in the new year, so now I'm unfortunately on the hunt, competing with everyone here.

​

It seems like every company on the West Coast USA will throw your resume in the trash if you don't have the ultra-common professional React experience. How do I get through that filter? I am confident I could write React professionally within a couple weeks. I very much doubt a little React personal project is going to help. Do I just continue to apply to the jobs that want "or similar framework" experience?
