ROI of becoming an IOS developer?

Curious to see how people think about this, I’m a new grad choosing between a role where I will be working on mostly SwiftUI frontend and some integration stuff with Swift, and another role where I do machine learning with Python. How transferable & desirable would skills like SwiftUI and Swift be in 5 years, given that the age of mobile is past its prime and GenAI will prob make frontend dev 10x more efficient. TC: 0 still a student

Do not take it up. The age of mobile is long gone. You will never become director of engineering by spending 5 years at mobile. Take up backend work or AI work

Strongly agree. Take up backend.

I’ve been doing iOS dev for the last 15 years and still going strong. If you don’t like UI work though I’d recommend something else
