4 years old Mobile dev wants to swtich careeer to other path. BUT HOW?
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working as a Mobile Developer for the past 4 years (iOS / Android / Flutter), but I’m feeling burned out/ready for a change. I’m looking to pivot into a new role or specialization, but I’m not sure what the smoothest transition would be or how to actually make the jump. Also AI can do most of my job pretty much perfectly with a good prompt. Either way I will be laid off within 2-3 years in best case scenario
A few quick details:
- Current Stack: Flutter
- Strengths: UI/UX implementation, API integration, problem-solving, project management, Communication
- Interests: Product Management
For those who have successfully transitioned out of mobile dev:
- What roles did you pivot into, and how transferable was your mobile background?
- How did you handle the transition? (e.g., internal transfer, side projects, certifications, networking?)
- What tech stacks or skills should I focus on bridging first?
Appreciate any advice, resources, or personal experiences!
