Hey folks , I've been in software was almost 5 years with 4 years experience in React Native (was a lead react native dev in previous job) , around 10 months native Android (Java). I've also worked on the backend (mostly nodejs, postgres stuff, integrating with payment gateways, queues - worked as a fullstack dev in fintech mostly in the FASTag space for a big private sector bank) with basic exposure to AWS (ec2 , Lambada etc) I am now done with JS and have taken a career break to explore new technologies , get better at DSA and become a better programmer. I am thinking of learning Swift for iOS as I love working on mobile apps and also started learning golang as I always wanted to learn a more versatile programming language that allows me to do low level stuff and seems like golang is a good stepping stone in that direction.
Coming to the point and the main question: Does changing stacks eg from react native to Swift for iOS or starting as Golang dev lead to a decrease in salary? Keeping in mind I don't have prior experience in golang at all . But I am guessing if I had to switch to native iOS in Swift there wouldn't be much of a salary drop?
Also I would appreciate if you'll had any tips for navigating salary negotiation in such a case . Should I settle for a lower salary and build my experience? Or demand a higher salary then my previous job ?
Not too long , I'm thinking something along the lines of 3-4 months max 6 months . I have a comfortable runway of 4 months since ive moved back home can stretch to 6.
What was earlier CTC?
Op any update ? how is the break going so far for you ?
After a month , I realised that this will take a longer time for me then anticipated. I started freelancing and then got a remote job with a slight raise in salary at a previous company. Learning new things in tech on weekends and after work (still struggling to do this daily while balancing my day job)
Not really. Always be in demand
Thanks for reply, care to elaborate?
