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

I don't have too much experience myself, so take it with a grain of salt, but I'd imagine that your best bet would be to use your iOS experience to get a job and within that company transition into more backend work. Yes, it would require more iOS dev, but IMO that's the best way to go. You'd have to look for jobs where there would such opportunity though
