Answer 1

Rajan Jain it's great that you have 10 years of experience whichever you're comfortable with go ahead. Well if one wants to have a change in career it's not a bad thing but may need to do a thorough review before taking the final decision. Whether it's a database developer or web developer choice is up to you.

Happy coding journey!!

Answer 2

Thanks for your suggestion Aysha :) Actually I am worried about the job market as continuous layoffs are happening everywhere as AI is taking over the jobs. So is it worth it to put my time and effort in learning coding which any LLM can do better and faster than me. Am I risking too much by quitting safe and secure job.
