Flutter after graduation or switch to MERN for better opportunities?

Hey fam. So bit of a context.
Back in uni days I had no guidance or mentorship and I was basically surviving on the hope that someone would eventually tell me what skill I should pursue. I kept exploring different stacks and technologies and eventually decided to go with Flutter.

Thankfully I got a paid internship at a local company as a Flutter developer, but due to personal reasons I had to leave.
Now after graduating around 7 to 8 months ago, I keep feeling like maybe I should have gone with MERN stack instead.

Everywhere I look, web seems to have more opportunities compared to Flutter. Sometimes Flutter feels like a narrower niche and I start thinking whether long term growth, better salaries, and bigger opportunities would become difficult.

At the same time, I also have this weird ego in my head that after graduating I should already be earning instead of starting from scratch again and learning a completely new stack.

So I genuinely wanted advice from experienced engineers here. Would it still be a good decision for someone in my position to switch and start learning a new stack like MERN, or should I continue building deeper expertise in Flutter?

Would really appreciate honest guidance from people who have been through this phase.
