I’m currently working in an MNC with around 1.5 years of experience, and lately I’ve been feeling extremely confused about my career direction.

So far, I’ve worked with:

.NET

React

TypeScript

Kotlin

iOS development

Recently I also built a Telegram bot, and honestly it was pretty fun initially. But after some time, I got bored again. This keeps happening — I start learning/building something, enjoy it for a while, then suddenly lose interest and start thinking maybe another domain is better.

Right now I genuinely don’t know what I should focus on:

AI/ML

Backend with .NET

Frontend engineering

Mobile development

Cloud/DevOps

Full-stack

Automation/bots

Sometimes AI feels exciting because of future scope.

Sometimes cloud feels more stable and valuable.

Sometimes mobile dev feels creative.

And sometimes I think I should just go deep into .NET + React since I already have experience there.

I feel like I’m stuck in “too many options” mode instead of actually mastering something.

Did anyone else go through this phase around 1–2 YOE? How did you figure out what to specialize in without constantly feeling like you’re choosing the wrong path?

Body:

I’m currently working at an MNC with around 1.5 years of experience. By August, it’ll be almost 2 years.

My experience so far includes:

.NET backend

Kotlin

React + TypeScript frontend

iOS App dev

Right now I’m genuinely confused about what the smarter move is for this stage of my career:

Should I focus on switching jobs for better growth/package?

Or should I spend the next 1 year becoming really strong in one specific skill/domain?

Or should I continue being more of a generalist/full-stack engineer?

Sometimes I feel switching early helps salary growth. Other times I feel my fundamentals aren’t “deep” enough yet in one area.

Would really appreciate advice from people who’ve been through this phase:

What did you choose at ~2 YOE?

What helped your career the most long term?

Is depth more important right now, or opportunities
