This is exactly my dilemma. I've been in the industry for 2 years but done very little personal development in my own time and my job has been quite limiting in pushing my skills in the direction that I desire.

I value my after work hours to pursue other things/exercise/have a life. This makes me put even more thinking into how should I be spending my already limited time.

Currently I'm sticking to doing some MOOCs related to my my development path (Android) and then I want to crack on a few personal projects. On the other hand, the clock is ticking and I really would love to prepare well for better career opportunities...
