Is Scraping good for freshers ?
I have joined a company as an intern which trains me on webscraping,crawling and automation tasks with tools,libs and frameworks like apify, puppeteer, crawlee and language as js in node environment. In starting of the training they told me that not much freshers learn this thing, only 2-3 yrs experience devs learns this. I don't know if they just told me to feel good ❓
Now my internship period is going to get over and then they will make me sign bond of 2 yrs. Is this skill valuable in market, if i be in this company and then switch to other company ? Or i should just leave this company and look for some other company in node backend development ? I know many of them will tell not to be in this company beacuse of bond, I completely understand that, but if anyone has idea about this skill then please put light on it, it will really be helpful. As i am not in contact of any senior working in this specific domain.

Web scraping is good to learn as noob. I have done web scraping as side projects in college. But what we do can be done in minutes by tech giants for getting data. So that's not much use in future as you have to mention this as experience after 4-5 years by that time it will become obsolete
Ok understandable, can you specify what type of projects did you made in web scraping ? And with the help of which tool you did it ? (Apify, crawlee, puppeteer, playwright or anything else)
No tool.Used python packages. Scrapped with multiple urls for tables to make a dataset.
