If you are a developer looking for job change then Angular or Next JS/React. Most of the companies are using Angular/React +ASP.NET Core API. But if you are already working, and want to explore what microsoft offers for client side then you can go for Blazor. No doubt, Blazor is awesome and in future it may overtake Angular/React. But as per current market rquired skills angular/React will be more beneficial to you for getting job.

Hi. With the emergence of web assemblies wich Blazor supports. I would stick with Blazor. A: Blazor is very much like razor so a path to success would be much quicker. B: Blazor will take care of routing and authencation much easier if you are not used to it. C: Blazor transpiles your c# into JS so the front end events can work. D: If you have never done Angular, React, Vue, do learn it but not if you have a pressing paid task. E: Angular is well not worth it, React if you know JS and Vue JS for a more prescriptive approach. I would suggest give Next JS for React or Nuxt JS for Vue a go. Vue if you have never done this. Things to remember with this approach. You pass a auth token back to the API with every call, that is your security. That is it and this takes some getting used to coming from coventual aspx/raxor programming. You will have to learn tokens and keeping them alive. Hope this helps, its a big shift if you have never done this before. PS, Next JS and Nuxt Js are best pratice build chains used by a lot of people andd large sites, it feels a very similar fasion to conventual MVC.
