Exploring New Horizons: Transitioning from Mobile App to Backend Development

After the exciting 2+ yrs ( including 6 months internship) as a software developer, I have decided to move on to a new opportunity at a company with a strong financial foundation. I'd love to connect with folks working in the Backend Development space, passionate about building high-performance APIs and microservices ( Node.js/MongoDB/MySQL). As we know, the tech industry has seen its share of changes lately, I have been actively exploring the job market for the past 2 months but no luck. So, if you're aware of any exciting opportunities or know of hiring managers, I'd love to hear from you.

Any one here who after certain years of experience in front end (web or mobile) switched to backend or vice versa. If yes, did your existing org. provided you the opportunity or you got it outside? I am current working on native android with 7+ years of experience and I want to switch to backend. Any suggestions?

Has anyone successfully transitioned from mobile development (iOS/Android) to backend development? If so, how did you do it, what were the main challenges you faced during this transition, and how did you overcome them?

Hey folks, I am a senior software engineer at Swiggy working in as a mobile engineer for the past 5 years. I have worked on few backend & infra stack in past companies (node js, go-lang, kubernetes, s3, etc) just for exploring and expanding my horizon. I am thinking of seriously perusing this now. What are my options here? I am open to learning via online course / my own side projects. Also how to approach for hiring given it won’t be my expertise but I am willing to be hired at a lower package for the long term benefits. Reason to consider a transition is boredom with working in a single domain.

Hi everyone, I am a frontend developer(3yr+) who wants to switch to backend development. I am looking for some advice from people who have made a similar transition in their career. How was your journey and what was your plan? What do you recommend I should do to become a backend developer? What skills and technologies should I learn? Also, how should I handle the salary and job search aspects? Should I take a salary cut or join at the same salary? 💰 How should I approach HR or put myself on job portals? Please help me. I am feeling confused and unsure about my career path.🙏

I have been working on Android development for 5+ years now. Mostly native Android. Is it possible at my level to find new jobs in other technology (backend or Frontend web). My current organisation doesn't have an option to do so. So I will need to switch companies. How should I go about it?

Currently working as a frontend developer, I am want to switch into backend technology or DevOps. Seeking guidance on the best approach to make this shift. Any insights or advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

I joined industry as a front-end engineer back in April, 2022 and now i am feeling like expanding my horizon of skills and start doing backend. Also, I am hearing it from people that there is not much growth in FE in terms of compensation. So, curious to know the views of people here and would be great if someone can guide through. Thanks in advance
