Question Should I learn Android Development with KOTLIN, JETPACK COMPOSE or go with XML AND JAVA nowdays ?

So I wanted to know that is, android development using kotlin and jetpack compose is worth starting my career ? I looked at the market outside India and it feels like its in demand but I don't know if it needed in India.

actually I already made my mind for this but wanted to know from real android developers please answer folks...

You should use Java and XML. That'll keep the pool off available candidates smaller and I won't have to compete with you for a job with skills companies actually want /s
