I was in a similar space. Feel free to email me if you'd like to talk more. I'd say stick with it, especially when it seems tough. I thought tech was a dead end job. But the less jobs there are, the less people do it. The less people do it, the more valuable the skill set is when the jobs finally happen. Tech is inevitable. Spreadsheets replace paper. CRUD replaces spreadsheets. It'll happen, the question is how long it takes. What's happening in SE Asia is a kind of tech "colonialism", where companies try to build local. Iraq has people, it has a market. It has problems that can be solved more efficiently with code, even if it's say, used cars or dating. Native mobile is good, but basically, you want to be able to do CRUD. That might mean React Native or Flutter work. The native jobs pay a lot better, because they're usually solving bigger problems at scale.
