Not a frontend engineer, but wondering whether svelte is a more promising start for beginners instead of nextjs and other react based frameworks?
I would try making a small app in React first, and then moving to Svelte to get an idea of why Svelte was made in the first place.

The problem is the job market isn’t there yet. That’s what drives React, that and many people already know it and don’t want to change
When I'm studying a new subject I need guidance rather than a fire-hose of links to resources, but that may just be me.
(One that explains why every step is necessary, and what exactly it does in greater detail, as well as the underlying structures. YT tutorials are a bit outdated and are bad at explaining details.)
Do beginners find these type of big list of resources and roadmaps helpful? As someone who's been in the industry for a long time and with several years of FE experience, if someone had shown me this when I was trying to get into FE, I would have found it overwhelming, and anxiety-inducing. I can see how resources like this can give you a lay of the land and give you an idea for how a particular technology fits into…
I program as a hobby without any formal training. Despite doing it on and off for a few decades, I still consider myself an 'advanced beginner' for those reasons. So, having a lay of the land already, a resource like this is helpful when I'm looking for information in a specific area within front-end development.
Somewhat tangential: it's easy to drown in the surfeit of resources out there, to the point of paralysis. I've come to the conclusion that, in the end, you end up teaching yourself. To that end it almost doesn't matter what resource you start with. Just pick one and start asking and answering questions. For those questions you can't answer, the relevant resources will reveal themselves through your search.
+1 to the other commenter's suggestion that GPTs are a huge help in this regard, as long as you set a requirement for yourself not to use any code you don't understand. And GPTs are incredibly helpful with this meta step too.
