Native Mobile developers - need ur thoughts.

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement. Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

21M in my final year, I have been doing frontend development for the past 2 years mostly into making hybrid apps. Currently working for a remote US startup which is paying more base than faang CTC. I am confused about what should I learn next. Two options which I have are Native app development i.e IOS and Android or backend development i.e full stack developer. What are your thoughts about the upcoming market trends?

Hey everyone, I'm a React Native developer with 2 years of experience based in Surat, Gujarat. I recently completed my 2 years at my current job, but the appraisal discussion hasn't come up even after 15 days. I've been learning iOS development alongside my job since it's something I've always wanted to do. I’ve covered the basics of Swift and started with SwiftUI, but I’m not yet ready to take on an iOS developer role – I still need more learning and practice. I'm at a crossroads now. If I start looking for a new job, should I stick with React Native or switch to iOS? I initially learned React Native to get into mobile development because there were fewer resources for iOS. Now, I want to leave React Native behind, but I’m worried that switching might stop me from learning iOS. Has anyone been in a similar situation? What did you do? Any advice would be really appreciated!
