Because front-end work is often about pushing out prototypes really quickly, the js that’s going to be most useful to know is jquery (or a similar library). And, as for php, you’re very rarely going to need to do any complex programming, mostly because there’s no need to reinvent the wheel, so knowing WordPress shortcodes and template tags like the back of your hand is way more helpful than a deep understanding of server-side scripting.
At the end of the day, being malleable and being a really quick study are the only real essential skills for anybody who works on the web.
