I am a software engineer working in a FinTech RnD Center in Turkey. I have 2.5 years professional C# and WPF development experience. I also took place in iOS projects. Although I am a .NET guy, I am self-motivated to develop iOS apps in my leisure time. I learn Swift and try to share my know-how with tutorials. I dream, I develop and iterate. I have 2 years experience with Objective C. I developed 5 iOS apps from scratch (3 indie, 2 professional). I like to ship fast and see my product in user hands. I would like to continue my career in Europe (preferably in German or Netherlands). Should I follow .NET path or iOS path for my career through Europe?

Sorry for telling you the obvious, but .NET is used more on the server side and in desktop. iOS is mobile.

Which have you worked in more? frontend/backend/full stack OR desktop OR mobile? Which do you want to work in?

I worked full stack. Developed both server side and desktop side with C#. Consumed WCF services in iOS apps. I want to work in iOS development. But I am afraid of losing my experience for C#.

You may not have to choose. Xamarin?

I believe in Swift. Xamarin would be nice choice as a cross platform with native output. But I guess it has also a learning curve and some disadvantages. It also will ignore my Objective-C know-now. Am I too judgmental about this?
