What should I learn next according to the upcoming market needs?

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?

In short,You would be more valuable. There’s a Twitter war about the same topic. Don’t want to start here. By the way $ earnings in India make you complacent/lazy. Don’t fall for that trap. Keep pushing. You can be financially independent in early 30s. Good luck!

My dude, nothing about this is average. The fact that you are able to get something like that while in college in India already puts in top 1% of the 1% graduates.

Luck I would say, applied to a bunch of companies. Luckily I possessed the exact skills they were looking for.
