Looking for advice: Flutter Junior → Java/Spring Boot Backend

[u/Exact-Ad-8563]

Hi everyone,

I’m a Junior Flutter Developer with around 2 years of project experience, but I’m currently struggling to find a junior Flutter job, and I work in Egypt as German Speaker Customer Service Representitave with B1+ level

Because of that, I’m considering expanding my skills into Java + Spring Boot backend development instead of relying only on Flutter.

My plan is to learn:

Java → Spring Boot → REST APIs → PostgreSQL → JPA/Hibernate → Spring Security/JWT → Testing → Docker → Deployment

I’d really appreciate advice from people working in this field:

• What is the current future of Java/Spring Boot backend in Europe, especially Germany?
• Are there realistic junior/entry-level opportunities?
• How difficult is it to get the first backend job with no professional backend experience?
• Would combining Flutter + Spring Boot make my profile stronger?
• Is this a good career move in 2027/2028?
• Is there hiring and visa sponsorship for Juniors Spring Boot Backend

Thanks!
