I’m 27M with 2.7 years of Unity game dev experience. My salary is quite low, and I’m honestly getting tired of unpaid overtime and having to handle too many things at once.

I’m thinking about leaving the game industry and learning .NET backend or Node.js instead.

I don’t have a formal degree right now, but I plan to do an online BCA later. For now, I mainly want to get my career and finances on track.

For Indian developers who work in backend/software:

Is switching from Unity to backend realistic at 27?

Would you choose .NET or Node.js?

How much does not having a degree hurt?

Anyone here who made a similar switch? How did it go?

I would really appreciate honest advice!
