I am a USA-based iOS dev with limited experience in backend. I lost all passion for front end and realized that I enjoy backend much more. How difficult is it going to be to transition in this market? (programming.dev)

I have been laid off from my job for a couple of months now. (CS degree/ 4 years experience)

Please don’t just tell me to stick with iOS dev because I just cannot see myself doing it anymore. I literally only sticked with iOS dev because I thought that apps were going to be the future and that all companies needed apps, but it was the other way around, all companies need backend. Looking back a lot of my career decisions were driven by ignorance and Fomo

You’d have an easier time working as an IOS dev at a company where you could pivot onto their backend team.
