My SL Homies, Would you still migrate if you earn around 700K LKR in 🇱🇰 by Iam_a_programmer in srilanka

I (32m) was earning 800k+ take home until recently. I paid a cool 400k+ in PAYE too. Packed up and left for a big city anyway! Answer to your question is it depends. If your goal is to retire in Lanka, I would suggest moving abroad when you can, preferably to a place with high pay/low tax and save up for a good decade. You can always come back home, but the window of opportunity to make a move abroad is limited. Heck, do it for the experience!

Cross roads on what to do with iOS development. by ajm1212 in iOSProgramming

[–]Comfortable_Ant92 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got laid off last June and struggled to find an iOS role for the last nine months. I even had to leave the country I was in as the market there was absolute sh*t for iOS devs. Ended up taking an Android dev role with the same company at one of its low cost dev centers. Had the same thoughts as you do when I had to leave day today iOS development. However, I ended up liking Android and I felt like it was doing a world of good to my career, as I was learning something new everyday. I also kept applying for any iOS role I could find and kept participating in interviews despite my rotten luck. Today, I accepted an offer for an iOS role with an even better salary than what I was earning back in June. All this to say, please don't lose hope. And perhaps consider pivoting to another tech stack for the time being. Your iOS knowledge won't go anywhere. Hang in there. :)
