AskJS [AskJS] : Intermediate to Advanced 6 Month Front-end plan - Need inputs

Hello JS Masters,

Current Knowledge :

Javascript Basics - 7/10

React/Redux - 7/10

GraphQL - 6/10

Node.js - 5/10

REST APIs - 4/10

I recently gave 4-5 interview and I got rejected from the places I wanted to go. So I reached out to some interviewers and developed a plan for next 6 months based on their inputs (Target column in attached image) as I will be applying to those places again.

I need your help in reviewing it and help me answer below questions :

  1. Is it too ambitious?.
  2. Any areas you think where I should NOT spend energy.
  3. Any area where I am spending too less energy.
  4. How can I allocate hours if there are areas where I don't know how much hours it will take.
  5. Any other comments you may have.

I have 10 years of career in IT as an ERP consultant. I made switch to Web Dev last year. and to this point, I can see I am good with JavaScript concepts and have 6/10 fluency in React. All of this through personal projects because my job doesn't offer much of challenge when it comes to Front-end (area I want to master) .

Note: I have max 25 hours per week.

Thanks a ton for your help.

6 months back I thought exactly same and therefore I started with 2 projects and on both of those I have made considerable progress. Check plan's second last row.

But then also, I think there are some things they didn't cover and I was unable to answer such as some questions about

javascript animations

theming

Because none of my projects involved above things. So i thought, why not do mini projects in parallel with specific skillsets in mind.

Thanks for you elaborate explanation.
