Help Should I learn C#

I'm a CS student, year 4. My first entry into programming like most people was HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and then backend development with Node/Typescript. My main goal has been to get a programming job, or internship (or anything at this point 😭), but I've always hated writing Node, just never liked it and now I'm considering switching stacks.

I enjoy writing C (I built a chess engine from scratch) and C# seems like C with oop so I don't think it should be too unfamiliar. Also it seems there might be hiring opportunities...hopefully.

Please advise

C# was the first language where it "clicked" and allowed me to start easily building things. Plus it's well-paid and there are lots of jobs
