Either could be OK for a junior role maybe, but not a senior/staff role. 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.

I mean... There's plenty of android work available. The cost of switching domains is that you loose your "senior" status.

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.
