How realistic is it to switch from gamedev to enterprise?

Question

Java

Hello!
I'm a middle unit developer (3 years non-commercial and 2.5 years commercial). I want to switch to the enterprise, java backend + react (for now, something like this).
Do I have a chance to start not from the very bottom, but at least from the junior + level in terms of salaries?
How do employers usually deal with such transitions?
Which junior will be more valuable: one who has enough experience in development, but in a different area, or one who, even if a little (six months or a year), but worked on the right stack?

Answer 1

You can go, but it's difficult. Unfortunately, vacancies are full of smart words that are little used in practice, and the absence of these smart names in the resume does not allow HR to pass through, and overall experience plays very little role.
The second obstacle is that a business is usually looking for a person who is able to start solving complex problems from the very beginning, which is also difficult when changing the stack, after all, at least a month is needed to enter the specifics of a particular business.
If you make your way through HR and find an adequate leader, then you can go even not to the salary of a junior.

Why Java and not C#? It will be easier, kmk.

Depends on your skills - if you worked in a team for three years, and not solo, then most likely yes.

It's ok, as long as you can explain it properly.

Depends on the junior and who he is being compared to.

Answer 3

I told my employer that I want stability. At that moment I wrote on the pluses, I learned about c # only when I wrote the test. Since then, I have been cooking in the orbit of Sharepoint CRM Mssql

Answer 4

Junior is the very bottom, but you can go to the middle without any problems
