Hi everyone!

I'd like to get your thoughts on the long-term career prospects of Android development, particularly Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) and Compose Multiplatform (CMP).

With cross-platform technologies gaining traction, I'm curious about how Android developers should evaluate KMP/CMP compared with focusing on native Android development or moving toward backend and full-stack engineering.

For developers working with KMP/CMP in production:

  • Are you seeing meaningful adoption in companies ?
  • Does KMP experience open up more opportunities, or are most roles still focused on native Android?
  • How transferable are these skills to broader software engineering roles?
  • If you were planning your career for the next 3–5 years, would you prioritise native Android, KMP/CMP, or a broader full-stack skill set?

I'd appreciate perspectives from people working with these technologies in real-world projects.
