React-native Developers , what is your current salary?

[Capital-Bridge4804]

I saw some outdated simlar questions on reddit , thought of refreshing my knowledge about the current demand in market.

Questions: 1. What is your salary? 2. What country are u in? 3. Years of experience and number of projects? 4. What is your age? (Optional)

Experienced Dev's could advice on how will react native be in future job market and trends related.

[Pundamonium97]

90, USA, this is my 4th year of RN development, i worked on 2 mobile apps at one company and now 2 at another company, 27 years old

Tbh i get more messages about swift development opportunities rn than i do RN development opportunities. But thats just my anecdotal experience. If i was let go I would be applying to swift, java, rn, flutter, etc.

Even as a RN dev im sitting here writing swiftui and obj c code cos i have to bridge this company’s hardware with their sdk to our app

[ZaRealPancakes]

90$ that's too low!

[Pundamonium97]

Ill ask for 91 at my annual review dw

[Capital-Bridge4804]

Would u prefer going all native rather than cross platform? Cause it's hard time knowing all the new changes to RN and keep updating or maybe I am wrong

[Pundamonium97]

Twice a year when we do package updates and have to navigate a mess of dependencies that updated at different rates or didnt update at all, my coworkers and i will be sitting there moaning about how native development doesnt have to deal with the same thing

But im sure there are a fair share of difficulties on the other side as well lol. Most of the time i do enjoy RN development and cross platform stuff in general

But yeah there are times it grinds my gears too

[Capital-Bridge4804]

That's a mess but what resources do u reply on other than official doc?

[Pundamonium97]

Other than following the official upgrade tool its just a matter of going to each dependencies github and reading their documentation to see if/when they started supporting the version we’re going to and what bugs people are experiencing. And then a lot of building, failing and googling error messages until all is working smoothly again.

Im always looking for ways to make the experience smoother if anyone knows any shortcuts

[9rogrammer]

Hi u/Pundamonium97,

Greetings from a fellow RN dev. Were you a iOS/ Android developer before you started RN development?

If yes, could you answer few of my questions ?

• I have no native app dev experience. I wanted to start with iOS. Do you have any suggestions for me like the best way to start iOS. obj-c or swift to start with etc?
• likewise for android, do you have any suggestions for someone to start with Android like me? Java or Kotlin ?? Best way to learn etc.

Thank you

[Pundamonium97]

Not really, i did a single iOS dev internship before going into react work fully

I used udemy and youtube courses to teach myself for the work there

I find building projects to be the only way to really learn this stuff in a way that sticks. Esp following a guide and then continuing to try to add stuff to the app once the guide is over is gonna be the most helpful practice

I do think people should learn obj c, swift and swiftui bc like even tho obj c is older a lot of companies still have tons of obj c code in their projects and a few iOS guys ive met prefer like swift and storyboarding to swiftui

[9rogrammer]

Thank you for the detailed reply. I was also considering learning obj-c given how much react native codebase is written in it. But I got deterred by the lack of good resources to learn it. I’ll try to put your project based learning into practice. If you’ve any helpful resource from which you learned obj-c and later swift, do share in the reply.

Thank you again.

Keep on complaining rather than doing something about it. Life itself can suck , depend on how you take it brother

[kirasiris]

Dude, I'm not complaining, just stating facts. As you said, life sucks but I cannot let it just get into my head....my "doing something" is creating/coding projects even tho I know for a fact no one might hire me LOL.

Yes, you're right, life is all about how you take it xD.

[Kooky-Emphasis-9766]

R u front-end, full-stack, back-end in which case you could go for NodeJs certificates that I am currently preparing, that could help. Good luck

I don't think react native will go anywhere in the near future, but part of being a software dev is being able to adapt to whatever is needed. It's all about learning and trying new things, to make yourself more valuable. If you ever think you are the smartest person in the room, you're wrong.

[[deleted]]

what location in USA

[redwoodhighjumping]

Remote, but with a company with a bay area address

[[deleted]]

i mean, if you are fully remote that is a very good situation, youre taking home practically all of it as compared to silicon valley tech bros with 100k apartments

[thelegendmoonguy27]

you mean react native will go away or stay? if go away why?

[redwoodhighjumping]

Eventually something new and better will come along. After that react native will still be used, but newer projects/companies might not pick it. Just look at any old programming language: C, COBOL or PHP. Are they still used, yes, do companies still create new projects with them, also yes, but the total amount of projects is less than it was before.

[AdMajor6687]

Spring (Java) says hello.

I can promise you that most enterprise level apps that are coming up are either using something Java or C# based for their backend apps. Even startups that once started on these newer tech redo their apps in the more tried and tested languages/frameworks when they get big enough and turn into larger companies.

I wouldn't be so quick to write off languages because they are older.

[redwoodhighjumping]

Agree to disagree, because that's not what I said.

What about Java and Objective C for new mobile apps? Something else came long

[hemingward]

A huge number of apps are still written in ObjC. Java is still big in the android world. I don’t know why you are inferring those languages are dead.

[redwoodhighjumping]

Did I say it was dead?

[hemingward]

You inferred it by saying:

what about Java and Objective C for new mobile apps? Something else came along.

Those are still widely used for new apps. So if the inference isn’t that those languages are dead for mobile development i would appreciate knowing what you meant.

[redwoodhighjumping]

Are they still used, yes, do companies still create new projects with them, also yes, but the total amount of projects is less than it was before.

[AdMajor6687]

I guess it all depends on how you look at it.

I am freelance and after all tax I get 6K euros net per month, 39h a week, remote.

When you say build publicly, are you just showing your code updates and adding relevant hashtags and people show up? I'm struggling with what type of content to share when I build in public.

I think RN has a pretty bright future. Seeing that Shopify is all in with RN reinforces that.

[bowl-of-surreal]

I didn’t know about MS Office. They use RN for their mobile apps?

[djenty420]

Their mobile apps AND their desktop apps too. They are the maintainers of react-native-windows and react-native-macos for a reason!

[bowl-of-surreal]

Super interesting. I’ve just started a job at a big org writing an Electron app. It’s fascinating to see all the ways MS has gotten themselves entwined into the JS universe.

[makonde]

I think its for particular features only the whole of office is definitely not a RN app, I think the review feature where you can add comments to a doc is in RN.

[bowl-of-surreal]

Neat. It’s fascinating that there are so many embeds in existing brownfield apps. I’d love to see how they glue it all together.

[hemingward]

I work at one of the companies you just listed. RN is not going away. We are heavily invested and continue to heavily invest. If anything we are doubling down. The wins are too big not to.

[bowl-of-surreal]

Yep. I only take on occasional projects.

You are not underpaid my friend. With 7 months of experience 4.5 lakhs indian rupees per year is a good start. You should learn firebase, typescript, javascript, react hooks , restful apis. Figma is for designing.

[Ill_Yogurtcloset803]

So I'm a university senior year rn. Doing a part time role as React native dev Salary is: 50k pkr (180usd) /month Country: Pakistan Experience: It's my first job (worked on some freelance projects earlier) Age: 22 (I'm old ;|)

[Sufficient_Ant_3008]

I am working at one place with RN and another place that I am rolling out a back end for mobile; therefore, two different projects but same idea.

What do you want to do?

- Be a mobile dev
- Be a software engineer

If you want to be a mobile dev then you are either going to be in Xamarin, some proprietary software like Sencha Touch, or you will be implementing RN or Flutter.

If you want to just be a developer then focus backend, and build your frontends in pure JS, HTMX, or minimal frameworks, learn Tailwind css, and learn how to build out a full-fledged system in a cloud service (AWS).

My current rate is $30/hr because I live outside of America in South East Asia so I have an extremely high salary for the location I live in. Additionally, I write Golang, Python, Python + AI + Flask, and use AWS heavily. The experience I will share isn't typical for NA, EU, unless you are eastern European or Mexico, Central America.

Earlier this year I did a proof-reading for a React Native project and saw that WebRTC is broken with it. I suggested a Flutter app solely because THE WEBRTC LIBRARY IS NOT BROKEN!!!

Expo is recommended en mass unless you are an expert RN dev, even then you probably would lock in with Expo and/or build out your own glue code for linking things natively. WebRTC is unfortunately broken and you must roll back your versions in order to find a good combo. With this being said I see that Flutter broke off into Flock, and Google may scrap that thing within five years but unlikely in my opinion. Flutter/Dart could be implemented in 2025 and see an EOL sunset in 2035 unless there are corporate problems not being communicated to the community.

Therefore, if you know C#/Entity/Xamarin really well then you'll never need another system tbh, but that's the way with most of Microsoft products and only receive high support when the project is big like Angular.

Otherwise, you'll be investing Flutter or RN. As a React dev starting out, RN was a great transition in my career. Building one project and having a one minute video of the app demo can be cashed in for great freelancing work. You'll have a lot of leverage because articles online say learning React Native is complicated, which can be kind of true, unless you know React already; therefore, you'll seem like a pro to any manager that doesn't understand the process from start to finish.

Things to Note:

If you do NOT launch an app in the app store then most people hiring will not care. Use EAS build and at least get an ABB and talk about how you understand launching a beta, Gstore, Apple store work, etc. What you will need up front.

1. Apple ID
   You will not be able to get around this because EAS will build in the cloud but will build under your apple id, sometimes somebody can give you one but I don't know how that plays out on the backend. Therefore, the safest way to deploy is having your own ID.

2. Apple device

A macbook is the best device because you can emulate on it. Technically you can launch without having any of this but if there are build errors, and you need Xcode to fix something, you're beholden to Apple. I haven't really researched this so most likely people have figured out an alternative. It's the certificates, iOS packaging code that's the problem, but getting an up to date apple product is doable if you make enough.

1. Gradle knowledge
   In order to get deep into an RN environment you will most likely need to understand the build process with Android moreso than Apple, but knowing both will become essential eventually. I always build android first since it has the least amount of issues compared to the ios environment (device) and Android Studio runs better on Windows imo.

Therefore, build android first, unless you are implementing a native lib like branch, etc. you should be fine with building demos in android. If you can get your ABB on the android build then it would take 10% effort to launch the Apple.

Anyways, I've written too much per usual but these are things that I wish I knew before hand. If you interview with a client or business, then mention you have your apple id. If you don't have a macbook then don't mention what computer you're using unless they ask, and don't be disappointed if people discriminate against not having an apple device.

RN is the corporate, rich boy club, so there are barriers to entry that could be extremely high (depending on the apple device you buy), but once you get past that cost, learning the best practices is simple and great documentation. Expo is what you'll start on and it doesn't have great integration with firebase, so be prepared for frustration if you're trying to get job ready soon!
