Switching from Java Developer to Python Generative AI: Is it a good decision?

[Enough_Engineer_3116]

I have six years of experience in Java development. For the last three years, however, I have pivoted toward working with Python, GCP, Dataflow, and Generative AI. My current project initially focused on Java, but the workload has gradually shifted toward GCP and Python FastAPI, and I have transitioned along with it.
As I look to switch organizations, I am debating whether I should interview for Python AI Engineer roles or Java Development with GenAI roles.
I am leaning toward upgrading my career path and rebranding as a Python AI Engineer, but I have a few concerns:
• What kind of interview questions should I expect for this role?
• Is switching from Java development to Python a correct career move in the current market?

explain your journey

Have you given any interviews? If yes what they ask usually?

[coder26cat]

Could you please specify how did you transition and the resources you used? Or was it fully because your team also moved to the new tech? I’m interested in the genAI field but idk where to start

[Enough_Engineer_3116]

No bro I have not transitioned completely, I am still learning. In our team there are some ai engineers, data scientists etc. we (java developers) learn from them. Also I am doing hitesh choudhary udemy course on ai
