I think what's most important is to work out what you find valuable and useful about VR and to direct your attention toward that, because there's clearly some uses that you believe will be important. If you have some brilliant ideas for developing something, then get on with implementing some of them and people at companies will be interested in your work and approach. Asking here where's best for your career isn't likely to give useful answers. VR to me seems stalled because there's not much in it that people can't get by just looking at screens. The Metaverse seems stalled because people just aren't very interested in it, or what it adds over what they already do – it's currently just Zuckerberg playing out his fantasy of being Hiro Protagonist plagiarised from Neal Stephenson. It seems like people outside of his immediate circle aren't buying it, particularly because they screwed up the initial implementation so hard. If kids playing games on their PlayStations and Xboxes suddenly find some brilliant use case for it, then it'll take off like wildfire. Given they sit or stand three feet from field-of-vision-filling 72inch LED TVs while playing already, it seems like they aren't going to need headsets to get that effect.
