Ask HN: Which Dev Area Should I Specialize In?

[OulaX]

I'm a Software Engineer graduated in 2020 and worked as a tutor for 2 years and an actual software engineer for a 1 year 8 months.

My software engineering role was a frontend role, I was responsible for building out a startup's website from scratch following a Figma design, it was difficult as it was the first time I'm doing such a thing, but I pulled it off quite nicely. However, I was laid off soon after because the startup failed to get funding.

I am now looking to dabble in a different field, not web development, but, I can't decide between one of the below fields:

• iOS development

• Android development

• Game development

• anything else ...

My primary focus is to get a fully remote job as a software engineer. PS: I also love fields / technologies that are nice to solo devs

React Native lets you target both iOS and Android devices.

If it's different fields, check out embedded, operating systems, compilers, robotics, and artificial intelligence.

For solo, there's language learning, knowledge management, training courses & books, and small business/back office solutions.
