Switch to backend from front end.

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?

Can i switch my career from frontend to backend as I am having 3.5 years of experience in react. If I can, than how, as whenever I try to do so i am not shortlisted for backend role. Also in my company it's difficult to switch as they are not allowing to do so ? Thanks in advance 😃😃

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.

Hey folks! 🚀 After 1.5 years in mobile app dev at a unicorn startup, I'm on the lookout for new opportunities outside my current company. 🌐 Particularly interested in transitioning to backend development. Any advice or leads are greatly appreciated! #JobHunt #TechTransition 🕵️‍♂️✨

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

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'm a frontend dev, with close to 5 years of workex. I've been trying to switch to a full stack dev role for a couple of years now. Tried switching internally, but it didn't work because there were too many backend devs and too much dependency. Stuck with an infinite leetcode loop, did online courses but couldn't put those skills to work in building projects. I'm looking for some advice with a focus on cracking the interviews. The plan is to take up a Full stack dev role in the next 3 months. Thanks in advance!

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?
