Hello everyone, I am very confused and overwhelming in chooosing between Flutter and Android Dev in Kotlin, my goal is to get a Android developer job (remote or hybrid), which one should i choose, can anyone help me out here, that would be a great help to me.

I would do a research on open positions and tackle whatever tech stack has more demand. If you are starting your work journey, don't limit yourself to Android only, target web and other programming fields too.

As an engineering / hiring manager looking at someone who is starting out, I (personally) assume that languages, frameworks and OS are teachable skills, and look for flexibility, passion, drive, humility, willingness to learn, grasp of engineering principles … and a candidate demonstrates that through their use of (say) Android Dev. You need to have credible skills but I don’t expect a person at the start of their career to have it all down yet.

It would be good to get an appreciation of different “families” of language (strongly typed vs loosely typed, eg Kotlin vs Javascript, and/or procedural vs functional) Mobile dev, Web dev and backend dev are all different worlds and it would be good to appreciate the differences, and strengths. You will always find yourself on teams with other people, and this helps connect with folk working on other parts of the project!
