Will the experience of a frontend developer play a role if you move to mobile development?

Question

Android

Hello. I consider myself a middle++/senior frontend, I have about 5 years of experience.
Recently interested in mobile development. I feel that its specificity is more interesting to me, and some burnout appeared in the front.
For 2-3 months, I don’t see any problems getting a job as a junior android developer. Stops only a significant loss in zp.
I wanted to ask how much, after all, there is enough of its own specifics, which will prevent you from growing quickly or will my experience bear fruit?
Is it really possible now to grow up to, say, 150,000 in a year and a half (by St. Petersburg standards)?

Answer 1

Depending on what you have under middle++/senior frontend. If only writing code, it won't help much. If structures, architecture, algorithms, networks, and so on (that is, extensive knowledge in programming), then there will be no problems

Answer 2

it all depends on your knowledge. Are you a senior and get 150? I get more on the middle android. When changing direction, he even increased his salary. Although at the first social security services they offered less current earnings
