Is there a future for a mobile developer after a team lead?

Question

iOS

I am interested in further career growth of a mobile developer after the position of a team leader. Now, in fact, I see that either full-stack or back-developers are taken for the role of those leads of the entire project (systems as a whole, and not just mobile phones). Also in CTO they prefer back. In fact, I stopped in the role of a team leader and then there is only a way out into pure management and being a product owner. I'm thinking about moving to another area.

Answer 1

If you do nothing but develop for a mobile phone, then your horizons and knowledge, whether you are 100500 times a senior, are insignificant for the position of a team leader or CTO. For these positions, you need to be a slightly different person and look at the project from the other side. Backs often get into these positions because they are closer to the project infrastructure and, accordingly, have a deeper understanding and immersion, and it is more profitable for business.

Answer 2

tech lead short quest. at the beginning it's cool, unusual, then boring. you sit you are responsible, but in fact you don’t need it. it is much more interesting to be the most leading progger on the project with the right to vote, but without responsibility to the business.
or after team leads devs on a junic project manager in their own project, with an eye on coo or ceo, if it’s real in principle in an office.

Answer 3

if you rummage in Android, say "I'm a back - I rummage in Java"
if you don't rummage ...
