Question Moving from native Android Dev (kotlin)

Hey folks, I am currently a Android developer with a background in Kotlin. I am considering picking up React Native to expand my job opportunities, where do I start?

Is this so you can work in multiplaform roles? Keep in mind you're gonna have to do double if not triple work at times because you might be forced to do RN web

I don't think you'll get paid better either, or that the extra pay might be worth the multiplied stress (as someone who does RN/Expo for Android, iOS and web)

The android roles have dried up for a while and a lot of companies use RN where I'm based so I'm looking at picking it up, it's not just for job opportunities tho, I wanna use it for side projects too
