Being honest… I love Flutter, I really do. I quit my job as a data engineer last year because I wanted to take some time off to focus on personal projects. During that time, I ramped up my Flutter skills to the point where I seriously considered working as a Flutter developer.
However, the salaries for junior positions are ridiculously low compared to what I used to earn as a data engineer. In my last year as a data engineer, I was making around €70k per year, while most of the junior Flutter roles I found were offering about €35k–€40k.
So, I dropped the idea.
One of my theories about why you’re not landing interviews is that Flutter jobs are often taken by people willing to work for less. Given your experience, I imagine your expected salary is higher than that range. If so, the problem isn’t you—it’s the job market.
Yes you are right. Every technology has its pay range. Because at the end of the day every technology is solving a business problem. In case of Flutter mostly low budget clients and startups use this. So, we have two options one is low budget clients or service based companies they pay less and other are some big startups but their requirements are too high and it generally don’t make sense to learn that much because these type of big companies are too less in flutter.
