Work in gamedev Unity or Unreal Engine?

Question

Unity

Hello! I have a desire to get into game development, get a job, before that I did not develop anything in terms of games.

I went through small intensives on both Unity and Unreal Engine engines, watched different videos on YouTube and, according to the first sensations, came to the conclusion that Unreal Engine has more features, it is more promising.
I signed up for the courses, but have not yet started taking them, because there were doubts about the device then to work. After looking at the jobs, Unity is required almost everywhere.

I would like to hear the opinion of people with experience in this area or just thoughts on this matter - is it really possible to get a job with Unreal Engine in Russia?

It is important to understand what you are planning to do. Mobile phones are mostly Unity, but this is if we are talking about casual games.
I know a lot of studios that make AAA mobile games, they work with Unreal Engine.
If we're talking about PC/Console, it's mostly Unreal Engine, but it's important to remember that many people make their own engines.
Here the point is that if you plan to make games without a language, but on blueprints, etc., then such specialists are not really needed in the industry. This skill is mainly for game designers and those who make cinematics, but it's a little different.
Look first of all towards languages, for most of the top engines it's C++
For Unity C#
