Hey everyone! I've been diving into development with Node.js and Next.js and have completed a few projects. However, I've been struggling to get responses for internships. I'm now considering switching my tech stack to Java, especially since I have a solid background in data structures and algorithms with Java. I'm currently learning Spring Boot through Sanket's backend course, and I'm hoping that mastering it will make it easier for me to transition into Android development later, since it primarily uses Java. I'd love to hear your thoughts: is learning Spring Boot a good move for the future, and how relevant is it going to be in 2025?

Who said it's dead? That's just a myth! Spring Boot is still very relevant and will be for a long time to come. Just carry on what you’re doing, and you’ll be good.
You're on the right track! Keep at it with Spring Boot and don’t hesitate to explore as much as you can. Just a heads up though: moving to Android might also require you to pick up more than just Java knowledge like UI design and Android-specific components. But overall, your plan is solid!
Totally agree! Android has its quirks, but you'll be fine if you prepare for it.
I can relate! I've got an internship with a decent salary that focuses primarily on Spring Boot, and it's been great. This tech stack can really open doors for you, especially if you’re moving towards backend roles.
While Spring Boot skills will help you with Java, transitioning to Android involves a lot more topics. So, just make sure you're ready for the extra learning curve! That said, your plan sounds great, and don’t let that discourage you.
Spring Boot is definitely still alive and kicking! In fact, it's likely to remain a top choice for backend frameworks well into the future. It's essentially the go-to for many mid-size and larger companies, so I wouldn't worry about its relevance. Plus, your background in Java makes this a solid choice.
Right? Just keep that in mind as you progress!
