I’m still not too confident in Flutter as a framework for Cross-Platform development. This is due to general complexities with cross-platform dev, unknown long-term investment in Flutter by google, and also because of the seemingly low adoption of the tools / language by the tech community

Re:Ask HN: Best way to recover from startup burnout on Tuesday January 12, 2021 @02:32AM (#25743527)
Went through something similar, and now I’ve been working in a corporate job for almost 3 years. It’s not mutually exclusive, you can have a corporate job and run a gig/startup on the side, it is possible with some tradeoffs. Over time, I actually prefer this approach over going all in at first. It let’s you earn money, gradually build/develop your idea( something I’m doing now). I find I’m also a bit more conscious now of optimizing my time and willing to delegate, pay for stuff to be done.

Regarding interviews, most tech role interviews tend to focus on looking for specialists vs generalists, this has stung me quite a bit. I’d say to favor this in early on when searching, and be very upfront with interviewers in breadth value depth of knowledge
