To give you some more context, I am an experienced mobile developer working in a fairly popular mobile-first company but when I think about what my next career move should be, none of the opportunities around me excite me. Even though I have built a fair amount of expertise in mobile development, I feel that going to a different FAANG company and adding another screen to their app is not making any difference to the world or my career.
I would love to know how others think about this. What are some opportunities and domains that truly are capable of causing a step change in my career. What are some concrete steps I should be taking ? Can someone give me an example of this in practice ? Is starting my own company the only way to accomplish this ?
