Tangentially related at best, but this is essentially my current dilemma...

Sr Android engineer, leading a team of 8 on a multi-million install app for a well known multi-national (not software) company. No one will give me the time of day for anything but Android work, and I'm really feeling the burnout.




Arguably you could do any Java job.

I don't think a React role would be a great fit.

I've been boxed into a very specific field for 7 years. The pay is good and I have no complaints.

I don't think said field is going anywhere, as someone who went though a few evictions as a kid I appreciate having work.


I mean... There's plenty of android work available.

The cost of switching domains is that you loose your "senior" status.
