Question 1

Should I learn iOS or Android development first?

Accepted Answer

Consider your target market. If targeting India, Android dominates. For US/premium markets, iOS is strong. Cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter) let you build for both, though native skills remain valuable.

Question 2

Is cross-platform development replacing native?

Accepted Answer

Not entirely. React Native and Flutter are popular for faster development, but companies needing peak performance (gaming, AR, complex animations) still prefer native. Many jobs require knowledge of both approaches.

Question 3

What is the tech scene like in New York?

Accepted Answer

NYC is the second-largest US tech hub, strong in fintech, media tech, adtech, and enterprise SaaS. Companies like Bloomberg, Datadog, MongoDB, and many startups are headquartered here. The finance-tech intersection creates unique opportunities.

Question 4

How do NYC tech salaries compare to San Francisco?

Accepted Answer

Within 5-10% of Bay Area salaries at most companies. Junior: $90K-$140K. Mid: $140K-$200K. Senior: $180K-$300K+. Finance-adjacent tech roles (hedge fund quants, trading systems) can pay significantly more than pure tech roles.
